Departure from La Croix-en-Touraine (Indre-et-Loire)
A short, simple and very easy walk – it’s not a long trek, nor is it spectacular, but the setting is peaceful. You’ll discover what a needle dam is, if you’re not already familiar with one.

Departure from La Croix-en-Touraine (Indre-et-Loire)
A long route along both banks of the Cher, starting from Bléré. You’ll come across two needle weirs. By following part of the GR®41, you’ll explore the banks of the Cher, the little harbours where modern boats and old flat-bottomed barges are moored, the small summer bars and all the lively activity in summer. You’ll, of course, see the magnificent Château de Chenonceau from the opposite bank, the Touraine countryside and the shady woodland glades in summer.
