Beautiful promenade-like layout of the former railway line to Privas in Pouzin.

The "Voie Douce de la Payre" railway cycle path connects Le Pouzin to Privas in the Ardèche and follows the route of the former Pouzin–Privas railway line. Opened in 1861, this line was the first railway connection in the Ardèche department. Initially used to transport iron ore, it later also carried passengers and freight before being closed in 1994.
Today, the approximately 20 km long cycle path is fully paved and runs almost level along the Payre River, a tributary of the Rhône. The path leads through tunnels and over viaducts, offering impressive views of the surrounding gorges and villages such as Chomérac and Alissas. Its easy accessibility makes it ideal for family outings and connects the ViaRhôna with the Dolce Via, two other popular cycle paths in the region.
