Très belle randonnée. Très beaux paysages. Parcours sportif (étapes de 50 et 60 km). Attention par temps chaud comme cette année (35-36°). Vivement l’an prochain et une autre destination (après la Loire, l’Alsace et la Champagne)

Beau parcours varié au relief changeant le long de la Marne, dans les vignobles, dans la campagne.
