サン＝ジョセフ＝デ＝バンクスのおすすめライド

Beautiful railway cycle path and beautiful viaduct.

Ailhon with old sandstone houses and beautiful Romanesque church.

very beautiful village

view of the Pierres de Faux pass.

Beautiful climb to Mirabel, on top of the remains of Mirabel castle. The charming Ardechois village of Mirabel is a highly appreciated stop among lovers of charming villages, with its cobbled streets, stone houses and arched passages. At the top of this fortified village, on the basalt cliff, stands a square tower of black basalt rubble stone with belt beams of white limestone, remains of the medieval fortresses that used to stand here.

Road at the edge of the cliff. Remarkable view.

Maximum slopes of 6.2% in the Benas David pass, we didn't have to do the same. And then 17.5 km with a flat area which can make it seem shorter if you don't have the wind in your face. There are some passages that are even steeper. I consider it more difficult than Ventoux from Areau to Chalet Reynard 20km. But it is true, a very nice pass to do, for a good beginner like me aged... (Lol).. And a good preparation in comparison therefore for the Ventoux from Areau done the next day, in which it was necessary to have kept strength for the 6 deniers kilometres.

From this pass we see the Privas plain to the north and the Aubenas plain to the south.
