A truly beautiful stretch of the route! The stunning scenery and excellent cycle paths make cycling on the ViaRhôna a special experience! :-)

I just rode the ViaRhôna from September 3rd to 12th, between Romans and Sète. Beautiful scenery and villages. But the track quality is very uneven. Sometimes excellent, with impeccable surface and signage. Sometimes deplorable, shared tracks not maintained, sporadic signage, we go around in circles in some towns... And the biggest hassle is the train ride back, with no chutes in the underground stairs when changing platforms. Unpack the panniers, carry the (electric) bikes, and depending on the carriage, climb three steps! Thanks, SNCF.

Beautiful downhill finish for the end of L'Ardéchoise. Be careful at the end of the descent with some very technical turns.

Small village of Ardèche, Colombier-le-Vieux takes place on the edge of the Massif Central. To see: the castle of Belle Comble, built from the 13th century and listed as a Historic Monument; the fortified house of Ruissas, also listed as a Historic Monument. Built in the 16th century, at the beginning of the Wars of Religion, it underwent major transformations a century later. This building, representative of the seigniorial and rural habitat in Vivarais, is only visible from the outside. Do not miss to admire the 19th century Saint-Martin church, or the King's bridge (listed as a Historic Monument) which crosses the Doux.

Beautiful section of the ViaRhôna, which runs directly alongside the river in the countryside.

The ViaRhôna, or VR17, runs beautifully along the banks of the Rhône.

Super nice route by bike. Tarred throughout and therefore also great for racing cyclists! Coming from Annonay, you first drive briefly on the normal road and turn off it before it leads uphill again (and becomes multi-lane). Then comes this stretch that doesn't want to end and looks like a little paradise: the stream called below, trees, birds, shady passages, no traffic, gentle gradient, .... Can certainly also be driven uphill very well. Be sure to plan!

The Col du Rouvey from Satilleu is 15.5 km long with a total drop of 768 m. The average gradient is 4.95% with maximum gradients of 6.8%.
