マルセのおすすめツーリングルート

Nice location to take a break here. Picnic benches are set up in the shaded area. The terrace of the summer bar La Guinguette has a nice view of the river Vienne and the Royal Fort of Chinon.

Tough calf biter. Here you know why there are gears on your bike.

Here she is, the national heroine of France. Historical context: She is one of the greatest heroines in French military history. She played a decisive role in the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) but was handed over to the English by the Burgundians, after which she ended up at the stake. Joan of Arc, canonized in 1920, was an extraordinary young woman.

A must-see: the Happy-culteurs of Champigny sur Veude (the station).

This dynamic statue of Chinon created by Jules Roulleau was offered by the sculptor to the city where Joan of Arc met the Dauphin for the first time in 1429. The statue represents Joan of Arc galloping over the bodies of her defeated enemies.

Atypical castle certainly but inaccessible to obtain the same point of view as that of the shared photos. The visit of this castle is possible but paying. 8€ which are certainly worth it. You still need to be aware, and know that your bike must remain in the parking lot during this period.

Atypical castle abandoned then taken over since 2017! The vegetation has regained its rights and leaves unusual views!
