The first 25 kilometers to Tours with the Eurovelo 6 then on roads to Chattellerault. Everything well done.

September 12, 2024,E19 / Tours - Bonneuil-Matours

Finally nice weather again. Still a bit windy, but lots of sun.

Small breakfast in Tours and then we left the Loire and headed over to the Vienne.

Always beautiful little towns, let's keep going like this. But now there are a few slightly more challenging stages to Bordeaux.
