In 2022 I managed to persuade my husband to accompany me on a series of day rides to discover the new, local cycle way.
Called La Flow Vélo, it’s the V92 route that runs from Fouras-les-Bains in Charente Maritime to Thiviers in the Dordogne, a distance of 290km.
This is what the signs look like.
You’ll find my blog posts about our experiences in the drop-down menu. They’re in chronological order of the dates we cycled each section.
Below is the list of the sections cycled in river order, separated into the upstream and downstream parts relative to Cognac.
