Itinerary

This section has designated lanes and is liable to flooding between St-Clair and the Thénot, so it’s not recommended during off-peak seasons or after heavy rain. You will quickly find your wheels and mudguards being clogged up!  Take care when crossing the D 773 at Pont Miny and when crossing the RD 2 to Guenrouët and the RN 171 to Blain. 
There are several very pleasant picnic areas where you can take a break during this stage.
