The village with 7 castles! To discover

A small observation deck at the top of the religious site. Unfortunately, the surrounding area would benefit from being cleared of trees to fully appreciate the view, as the panorama is limited by vegetation. It's best to visit in winter to be less bothered by the foliage.

Very pleasant pass to climb, not too steep a slope, well marked all the way.

Pretty village but which I didn't necessarily enjoy passing by road bike, with its many one-way streets, speed bumps and traffic lights...

End of the climb and arrival on the plateau

Arriving from Cessieu, I made a small detour via Voissant then the remaining 4 km to the Col des Mille Martyrs. Easy climb, no cars on this early Sunday afternoon and a very beautiful forest upon arrival. Bucolic viewpoints as a bonus during the climb. The descent to Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine is perfect. Super rolling surface and moderate slope allow you to reach 50 km/h effortlessly. Paradise exists, it is in Chartreuse.

Pretty country church in the village of Saint-Sulpice-des-Rivoires

Modest lake always preserved from any agitation.
