Lucon to Rochefort

94 km, 415 m

Route through the Marais to poitevin. Drainage channels and structures everywhere

Fascinating how the insect chirping has change in volume to as loud as the bike freewheel. Still lovely sounds from the collard dove.

Came upon this at one of the many well kept round abouts, in the distance thought it was a Menhir I had forgotten.

And so into Rochefort a spa and 17c newtown built as a base to subdue the pesky protestants in La Rochelle.
