A long one today (about 75km) so relieved that the weather is apparently going to be cloudy most of the day.
We started off with a great breakfast from our Michelin chef and were away by 9. We positively stormed along and covered 40km before lunch which we ate in Talmont . There wasn't much on offer so we were glad to find a little cafe offering very reasonable lunches in what seemed to be an extension to the car park in the shade of the chateau.
The waitress was not only quick and efficient but quite brave too as she had to cross the road from the cafe with every order!
Then cross country again to pick up the cycle path again in Longeville. The last 10km dragged (as it always seems to) and we arrived at our hotel around 6pm. The coast just seems to be more of the same...
478km down.
