Intro
Off at short notice to walk sections of the Tours route. 3 days south from the centre of Bordeaux as far as Labouheyre, a break of a couple of days, finishing off with a 2-day section south from Saintes to Mirambeau. The Saintes-Mirambeau section has long been waymarked by the departement (Charente Maritime), but now also forms part of the GR655. A topoguide for the GR655 from Tours to Mirambeau was published after my return, so was not available, but the route was marked on IGN maps.
