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.

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

Easy ride, all flat, picturesque views

Col de la Mûre, a climb that was unknown territory for me until recently. But after this ride that changed forever. The climb showed me that unknown does not necessarily mean innocent. It was a real test, especially at the current temperatures. The first meters seemed friendly, but it soon became clear that the Col de la Mûre knows no mercy. The gradients started to rise mercilessly, and with the sun high in the sky, every pedal stroke became a fight. The heat added an extra dimension to the challenge, making this climb a true war of attrition. With a temperature of 32 degrees, it was a battle against the elements, from which there was no escape. During the climb it even became difficult to wipe the stinging sweat from my eyes. Every attempt to wipe my face seemed in vain, but stopping was not an option. The focus was completely on continuing to pedal, no matter how hard it got. Every bend brought a new wave of effort, but also a step closer to the end of this intense climb. When I finally reached the top, I was overcome with a sense of victory and relief. The Col de la Mûre had tested me, but I had risen to the challenge. This climb, once unknown, is now one I will never forget. It is a climb that demands respect, especially in these conditions. The Col de la Mûre is not just a climb; it is an experience that will stay with you. If you are looking for a real test, this is the ride for you. But be warned: it is a killer, especially in scorching 32 degree heat. 🚵‍♂️🥵

From the cycle path, you can see the eastern face of the Guercy massif, where the Soyons caves, discovered in the 19th century, are located. The Nero cave contains traces of prehistoric human and Neanderthal life, while the Trou du Renard is a vast network of galleries resulting from limestone concretions.
