The feel of the route

Here is a circuit across the plain, in a region where flat simply does not exist... In fact, you will still have to tackle a few climbs towards the end of the circuit. In between, you will have taken little-used roads where you need to follow the route description closely over the first third. Around Crevant-Laveine, you can discover the nature surrounding the “bras morts” (oxbow lakes) of the Allier river, whose bed has often changed. And don't miss the lanterne des morts (lantern of the dead) at Culhat.
