@User is correct. i remember there being hard-packed, pale coloured gravel, self-draining. We went fairly quickly on it.
there was one section (this was 2014) where horses had been raced up and down on the path and the surface was churned up. This was on the recce so on The Real Thing we went down the main road, but I think it was a Sunday morning and there were no lorries and few cars. We had a picnic in a town by a river and rejoined the cycle path after that. I'll go to my stash of routes on the other computer and see if i can find a GPX file. Watch this space.
By the way, Fougeres has a pretty castle. (I've not seen it as I arrived in the dark on PBP then left when I wasn't looking at stuff like that, but a friend did a sort of mini-recce for a potential Fridays Tour and the pics of the castle are very nice.)
