Roll out of Limeyrat on 95.5 km of paved road and let the ride unfold. First comes the L'Auvézère river, then the Château de Rognac, before the route meets the L'Isle. On you go past the Château de la Bonnetie and along La Loue, with the Château de la Cousse and Château d'Hautefort rounding things off. Then it's back to Limeyrat, with 1042 m of climbing in the legs.
