Located at an altitude of 1,330 meters, Lachamp-Raphaël is the highest village in the Ardèche. Dominated by the Montivernoux peak, the village offers exceptional panoramic views of the Alps and the Ardèche mountains. https://lachamp-raphael.fr/

Beautiful railway cycle path and beautiful viaduct.

Small street, no traffic

Anyone who wants to stop for a bite to eat should stop here. There are few alternatives. A Grand Café Creme and a generous sandwich for 8 euros.

The Montivernoux peak is located in the Massif Central. It rises to an altitude of 1,441 meters in the Vivarais Mountains. It lies between the communes of Lachamp-Raphaël and Mézilhac. https://lachamp-raphael.fr/histoire-et-patrimoine/suc-de-montivernoux/

In the eastern foothills of the Massif Central, in a harsh climate, at an altitude of 1,380 meters, this former 17th-century farmhouse, built like a fortress in the heart of a windswept plateau, is now a must-see attraction located 3 kilometers from Mont Gerbier-de-Jonc. You'll admire its typical architecture, its 900 m² of phonolite slate roof (local volcanic slabs), its upside-down ship-shaped framework, and its impressive volumes (50 meters long and 10 meters wide). https://www.bourlatier.fr/FR/home.html

Cafe de la Place has good coffee and just down the main street on the left is a good Boulangerie.

Maximum slopes of 6.2% in the Benas David pass, we didn't have to do the same. And then 17.5 km with a flat area which can make it seem shorter if you don't have the wind in your face. There are some passages that are even steeper. I consider it more difficult than Ventoux from Areau to Chalet Reynard 20km. But it is true, a very nice pass to do, for a good beginner like me aged... (Lol).. And a good preparation in comparison therefore for the Ventoux from Areau done the next day, in which it was necessary to have kept strength for the 6 deniers kilometres.
