ロアンヌ＝サン＝マリーのおすすめライド

One of many beautiful views of the reservoir.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

Beautiful asphalt road, in the Rance valley, between Saint-Étienne-de-Maurs and Roannes-Saint-Mary. Numerous signs, intended for cyclists, announcing the difference in altitude have been installed on the shoulders. In the fall, watch out for chestnuts on the road!

Hear: pretty little place

Oyez Castle from the 12th century with a mansion from the 16th century

Located in the heart of the Jordanne valley, Lac des Graves displays an exceptional and preserved setting. It's an ideal place for a walk or nap by the water!

If you cycle past, don't forget to look to the right, because this beautiful church is located just in the bend on a hill.

Imposing building, with a viewpoint and the possibility to visit. (On reservation and 72 hours in advance)
