June 23, 2024,🇫🇷🚲🚲Bourges 2.1 - Fahrradtour nach Château de Mehun-sur-Yèvre

The tour was planned along the Canale Berry to Vierzon (approx. 70 km), but we had to stop in Mehun-sur-Yévre. Due to flooding of the river L'Yévre, the cycle path was no longer passable. So we took a look at the remains of the Château Charles VII there, which was first built in the 12th century.
