From Le Blanc you roll out past the Château du Bouchet and follow La Creuse and La Benaize into the Brenne nature reserve. Then it's castle after castle — La Croix Blanche, Ingrandes and Château-Naillac — with L'Anglin along the way. Of the 77.0 km, almost all is paved, with a short unpaved stretch, and 450 m of climbing keeps it lively. The loop brings you back to Le Blanc.
