• 55 Points along the course offering a variety of entertainment and food-tasting opportunities (oysters, steak, cheese, grapes, ice cream, etc.)
The Challenge:
To complete the marathon while still making some stops along the way to enjoy a taste of fine wine and excellent food and to appreciate one or another of the many entertainments on offer. Somehow, one has to balance an immoderate run with moderate consumption, and how many stops ones makes is a personal choice. That said, many consider the steak (“entrecôte”) at the 40th km point to be a must-do!
