Beautiful little streets in the old town of Valence.

Over the centuries, the cathedral has undergone many changes. It was consecrated by Pope Urban II on August 5, 1095, destroyed during the Wars of Religion, and rebuilt identically in the 17th century. In the 18th century, Bishop Alexandre Milon de Mesme extensively renovated his palace and church. In particular, he financed the great organ and its case, a new marble altar, and paintings. The monument to Pope Pius VI, who died in Valencia in 1799 as a prisoner of the Directory, was placed in the choir. In the 19th century, the bell tower was struck by lightning. It was rebuilt, partly in Crussol stone, whose white color contrasted with the rest of the building, which was mainly made of molasse. The cathedral was listed as a historic monument in 1869.

very nice view from the castle

From its rocky outcrop it stands majestically like a sentinel over the Rhone Valley. It stands majestically from its rocky outcrop like a sentinel over the Rhône Valley.

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.
