Place names on the maps that are significant for route navigation are shown in bold in the text. The abbreviation ‘sp’ in the text indicates a signpost. Distances shown are cumulative within each stage. For each city/town/village passed, an indication is given of facilities available (accommodation, refreshments, YH, camping, tourist office, cycle shop, station) when the guide was written. This information is neither exhaustive nor does it guarantee that establishments are still in business. No attempt has been made to list all such facilities, as this would require another book of the same size. For full listing of accommodation, contact local tourist offices. Such listings are usually available online. Tourist offices along the route are listed in Appendix C.

Although route descriptions were accurate at the time of writing, things do change. Temporary diversions may be necessary to circumnavigate improvement works and permanent diversions to incorporate new sections of cycle track. This is particularly the case between Bourbon-Lancy and Decize (Stage 9) and after Nantes (Stage 26), where much of the route is classified as ‘provisional’ and work to provide a separate cycle route is ongoing. Where construction is in progress you may find signs showing recommended diversions, although these are likely to be in French only. Deviations and temporary routes are waymarked with yellow signs.
