La Rochelle - Bournezeau

Today we are once again going up and down to Bournezeau.

On the way there, we take a lunch break in Lucon. There, Armand-Jean du Plessis was ordained as the Bishop of Lucon at the age of 21 in April 1607. He became known in 1622 by the name Cardinal Richelieu. And suddenly we find ourselves more or less prepared here in 'his' cathedral.

After that, the ups and downs continue...

When checking in at the campsite, I receive the information that there will be a hike starting at the campsite at 8 PM tonight and we are welcome to join. I graciously decline due to my tired biking legs and find it remarkable that the small local campsite organizes an evening hike for the eight overnight guests.

Shortly before eight, approximately 100 participants from the area gather gradually to start hiking together.

Two hours later they are back and celebrate their successful return with one or more glasses of wine until 11 PM. Very friendly.
