24,34 km cycling route from Loches to Châtillon-sur-Indre
Speeding off from Loches’s majestic citadel, this short stage takes you cycling along quiet little country roads. The way leads you through open fields, allowing you to admire the Indre’s many meanders as you head upstream. From a distance, the keep crowning the little town of Châtillon-sur-Indre stands out, main remnant of a larger 12th-century fort that once stood here.
