You begin with the river at your shoulder, the Cher pushing a cool scent of wet stone and willows as you clip into an electric bike and roll away from the Maison Éclusière des Mazelles. Villages unfold at a gentle pace — tile roofs, limestone walls, and chestnut trees — while the river occasionally dares you toward a shaded towpath.
