A gravel ride that turned into a 90% asphalt ride.
This wasn't the originally planned route: when I arrived in Torsac, I had a transmission problem. After a long break, I decided to head towards La Couronne train station to minimize my return trip by bike. Too bad, as I wanted to explore some paths and

A pleasant ride, 99% asphalt. Passing through quiet urban streets in Angoulême, easy trails in the Bois Blanc forest, and quiet country roads. On the menu: two churches, beautiful, easy trails, cliffs, a castle, and several historical monuments.

A 90% asphalt route through the Compiègne Forest.
It passes through the three forest villages (Pierrefonds, Saint-Jean-aux-Bois, and Vieux-Moulin), and follows part of the EV3, which uses the old towpaths of the Oise River.
Apart from a 2.3 km gravel section (hard earth, roots, and large gravel), the majority

Short, super-easy 80-20 gravel ride.
No particular difficulty.
Passing two churches and war memorials in the villages crossed in the Retz Forest (Haramont, Vez, and Bonneuil-en-Valois).

Pleasant ride at a senator's pace.
100% asphalt route, or almost: two passages (barely 100 m cumulative) on grass and dirt, but nothing insurmountable, even with a city bike.

A not too long walk between Montmoreau and Pérignac.
A stop at the Saint-Gilles fountain, which is usually reached on foot, although it is still possible by bike with the right equipment.
The Saint-Gervais - Saint-Protais Church in Pérignac was worth the detour; it was the goal of the walk.
I was able to

Walk without much difficulty apart from the Chemin du Petit Rabetier.
Undulating landscape for the first 25 kilometres, with a beautiful view of the valley between Saint-Martial and Saint-Laurent-des-Combes; then a slight uphill stretch to the destination.
It was a late afternoon outing; I was unable to

A rather flat tour between Angoulême and La Couronne, following part of the green corridor.
Easy gravel, on little-used roads through vineyards and hard dirt paths.
The bodies of water bring their share of freshness, the trees provide the necessary shade in sunny weather.

Very smooth ride through vineyards.
Many roads with little traffic in chipseal.
The paths are made of hard and compact earth.
A break at the Palluaud restaurant: friendly and warm.

A Gravel 50-50 course.
On the program: large gravel, small gravel, dry and hard earth, cobblestones, as well as a passage of soft earth that I wanted to avoid and that I had to take because of a diversion at the level of the Wallu pond, and the rest of the course being on asphalt.
Pleasant weather to enjoy

An 80% asphalt gravel route.
The goal was to observe the castles of La Faye and La Léotardie.
A complete disappointment: the castle of La Faye is not accessible from close up by public roads. I saw very little of it, and from very far away. I didn't even want to take a photo... As for the castle of La
