[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1147961, member: 21017"] Day 3 Montagui to Vendrennes So Montagui was a nice town (except the supermarket is at the edge of town) with nice parks, and old ramparts etc- and a very nice town centre with cute boutiques plus a new cheese shop that just open this month! (So obviously I had to try some Vendee cheese!) I had been disappointed leaving Clisson but Montagui sufficiently made up for it. But leaving at 6am isn't so nice. I did take a shortcut this morning taking a bike path to the next town - ( the marked route has a high percentage of tarmac and just a little more river). But back to the river in a park in St Georges de Montagui- and gravel then dirt paths. But then the start of a pattern - climb up away from river and then drop back down to it. But a lovely few kilometres before join a road! However, the Chapel of La Roche Pepin in the next hamlet was a highlight as it was completely restored from a ruin by the village about 20 years ago, and the door was open before 8am! It's a mishmash of stuff inside but a real sense that it is the village's, and lots of shells to welcome pilgrims. More road until we reach another river at Pont Lege and then we follow the river which then becomes a reservoir which proved to be a very delightful section walking by water and trees. But don't worry it's soon back to road walking through fields! About 5km to Saint Fulgent which has all required services - there has been nowhere to get water today so I was carrying 2 1/2 litres. Even in supermarket by florist area there was a tap! Picked up lunch supplies and headed to far end of town and a park (toilets with a tap at entrance). But still had 5.5km left and it was hot! The road was radiating heat- after 3km I when I was wilting I suddenly was signed onto a gravel track for 1km -heaven! Coming into Vendrennes a park provided respite in the shade to gather myself before town. First stop the bakery (the shop is closed on Wednesday ) and then the campsite. A swim was a delightful end to the afternoon. And as it was so hot they gave me a pitch with a deck with a full sunshade![ATTACH alt="20230607_090324.jpg"]148828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="20230607_164850.jpg"]148827[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="20230607_075224.jpg"]148829[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20230607_070021.jpg"]148830[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20230607_061338.jpg"]148831[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="20230607_060622.jpg"]148832[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
