2020 – STAGE 2 / 7 OCTOBER : MONESTIER – CARCASSONNE

5th Rally Entre 2 Mers: Stage 2 / Monestier – Carcassonne

From the Château des Vigiers, this stage, the longest of the rally, offered a morning rich in kilometers, crossing the beautiful regions of France such as Périgord, Quercy and the gorges of Aveyron. We took advantage of this rhythmic route in the heart of beautiful villages such as Monbazillac, Monpazier, Biron to organize the morning coffee break at the castle, then cross Montaigu de Quercy and Lauzerte, before reaching the Albi circuit.

The rest of the afternoon will consist of a crossing of the Black Mountain towards Mazamet, with very winding portions with the focal point, in the distance, the impressive medieval city of Carcassonne where participants spend the night and were able to enjoy fortifications and the sublime point of view from the covered way. Some kind of castle life in short !

The afternoon consisted of a descent to the south and the Château des Vigiers, where everyone stayed overnight, without forgetting the traditional coffee break, a mid-afternoon ritual, where a special test of regularity on the road, of a few kilometers was organized before the arrival in the middle of the afternoon and a deserved rest with a panoramic view of the golf course surrounding the estate.

We will then meet you tomorrow for the summary of the third stage towards Les Baux de Provence, a Picnic lunch in the heart of the Cévennes and better climate.
