June 6, 2024,Cahors – Tour du Pape Jean XXII rondtocht vanuit Douelle

The first part of the route is partly along a busy road towards Cahors. In Cahors you will pass the tourist spots of Cahors. After leaving Cahors, a short distance along a busy road and then mostly quiet roads and a climb up the hill. This tour is easy to do with an eBike.
