Roll out of Pujols and the road soon swings past the Tour du Roy castle, then on to the Château du Rodier. Between castles you cross the Le Tolzac and La Lède rivers, with the Château de Saint-Pastour and Château de Laval breaking up the ride before the Le Lot. It's 95.7 km of paved riding with 910 m of climbing, and every metre of it is paved. Back to Pujols to finish.
