The steep cliffs near Donzère along the Via Rhôna offer impressive panoramas of the Rhône and the surrounding landscape. The striking rock formations are impressive and invite you to take photographs.

A relatively narrow bridge that has the width to only allow only one car at a time. So just be careful when cycling across it.

You can ride on the sidewalk if there is a lot of traffic.

pleasant section, although can be dirty for road cycling in bad weather

These beautiful cliffs you see here are the Donzère gorge. This natural site is not a gorge strictly speaking, in the sense that only one of the banks, in this case the left, has a very steep slope plunging directly into the river. This remains impressive, because the cliffs are high.

Here – in the "Val des Nymphes" – a Christian church meets figures from pagan mythology. Nymphs were considered nature spirits or goddesses in the religious understanding of the time, but by no means as significant as, for example, Mars, Neptune, or even Zeus. They were a popular motif in the visual arts, offering the opportunity to depict naked or scantily clad female figures. The church found here, with the title "Notre Dame" (in German "Our Dear Lady"), which is widely used in France, is also dedicated to a special woman who, although not a goddess herself, according to Christian understanding participated in the divine plan of salvation through her unconditional "yes" to the angel's message: Mary, the Mother of God.
