ヴァレンヌ＝ル＝グランのおすすめライド

Toilet on site, water point, the best!

The residence of the Marquis d'Huxelles, built between 1606 and 1625, is home to the most sumptuous Louis XIII apartment preserved in France. Fireplaces, ceilings and wood panelling were painted, carved and gilded with sumptuous exuberance for the favourite of Queen Marie de Medici. Paintings, tapestries and period furniture complete this seductive evocation of "château life" at the time of the "Three Musketeers". The tour also reveals a monumental stone staircase (20 metres high), an 18th century kitchen and the opulent 1900s salons of an opera director. The garden, in the spirit of the Baroque period, offers 12 hectares of flowerbeds, a large boxwood labyrinth with aviary-belvedere, vegetable garden, green theatre, water features and remarkable trees.

Agree wholeheartedly with Benoit - ascended via Mancey a couple of day's ago. Not the longest hill I've climbed, but still glad to get to the top!

Superb little town, all shops and services.

Superb view of the village of La Chapelle-sous-Brancion. We can clearly see the Notre-Dame-de-l'Asomption church, which fits masterfully into the landscape.

Saint-Gengoux-le-National owes its medieval town to the dual supervision exercised by the Abbey of Cluny and by King Louis VII from the 12th century. Walking through the streets of this city is a real pleasure, it has managed to preserve its urban, architectural and landscape heritage.

This castle from the beginning of the 17th century can be visited, both for its gardens and for its interior. You will notably discover a monumental stone staircase and a well-preserved Louis XIII apartment. Outside, a large boxwood labyrinth, a green theater, ponds and flower beds will delight young and old alike.

Lovely place all year round. Can be reached from three directions, my favorite uphill is the one from Prayés, northwest from the col.
