Drinking water is mapped at 10 points; the longest stretch without is 13.7 km (km 24.1–37.8). 2 of them may be off out of season.

Places are from OpenStreetMap within 60 m of the route (300 m for a landmark such as a château or museum), and climbs from the modelled profile. Nothing here is checked on the ground and opening hours are not known. A good place to stop has food and water or toilets together, nearest the middle of the ride.
