TOUR 3 Ardennes, Morvan and Jura

TOTAL DISTANCE: 1145 miles RIDING TIME: Five days

DAY ONE: Calais to Monthermé (195 miles)

DAY FIVE: Nanteuilsur-marne to Calais (190 miles)

This is a real 'rider’s' tour, with the emphasis on flowing and twisty roads through unspoilt countryside, rather than on stopping to see the sights. The first day needs a late-morning crossing to Calais.
