サン・ピエール・ラ・ロッシュのおすすめツーリングルート

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.

La Voulte-sur-Rhône captivates visitors with its historic suspension bridge, which drapes over the Rhône River and offers breathtaking views. This charming town boasts winding alleys and historic medieval houses. A visit here perfectly combines nature, history, and French village life.

Great route. We went from Saint-Agrève to Valence. A magnificent descent along the gorges. I recommend it 200%.

Formerly serving as a railway crossing over the Eyrieux River, the Pimpie viaduct has now been converted into a greenway. It offers beautiful views of the river.

This suspension bridge adds a bit of adventure to this ViaRhôna. Beware of the wind, however, which, if it blows strongly, can cause the structure to move.

Easy ride, all flat, picturesque views

A beautiful old suspension bridge from the 19th century that is also accessible to cars.

A spring that flows all year round with strong water pressure is channeled here to a well with around 10 filling pipes. According to locals, the owner of the land on which the spring is located has given it to the municipality on the condition that it is always available to the public free of charge. Many people come with bottles and canisters to get their drinking water here. The little detour from the Via Rhona is definitely worth it.
