Drinking water is mapped at 21 points; the longest stretch without is 3.5 km (km 8.6–12.1). 3 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.
