La Velodyssee – Day 12

After a thoroughly relaxing rest day it was a slow start on Sunday. Nic dropped me back at around 12:30 pm so by the time I was sorted it was after 1:00 pm. An easy ride on a nice route to the fabulous La Rochelle.

The old harbour La Rochelle

I didn’t stop for too long as I was aiming to push on to Rochefort another 52 kilometres.

The Marina at La Rochelle

The ‘new’ marina at La Rochelle is the largest in Europe. The picture shows around half of it. Like a forest of sailing masts! It is huge!

At my rest stop I checked out the camping options at Rochefort and it didn’t look good so I decided to take a strategic detour to Fournas to camp there for the night. It gave me a shorter day in the saddle which is good for the 100 kilometres that is in the agenda for tomorrow.
