Route along the Mère River in the Mervent-Vouvant Forest

Highlight • River

Pretty shaded road which crosses the national forest of Mervent-Vouvant. It runs alongside then crosses the Mother which brings a welcome freshness in summer.

Steep climb in Mervent — 21%

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Only a 500m climb but it averages 10% and peaks at 21% around the second bend. A great hill to attack full gas and beat the KOM.
