The ride
From Donzenac, this 81.2 km loop rolls out past the river Le Maumont Blanc and on to Château de Puymaret. Further along you cross La Corrèze, La Vézère and La Loyre, with Château du Saillant, Tour César and Manoir des Tours keeping you company before the road brings you home. Every metre is paved, and 1116 m of climbing keeps the legs honest.
