A key climb for the 2025 and 2026 French National Junior Championships, organized in the Vals du Dauphiné region, which still bears the inscriptions on the ground as I write these lines! A really tough climb, it stings!

Found somewhat by chance and at a very affordable price, this hotel restaurant is a superb stopover for a bike ride!

During Holy Week, Christians commemorate the Passion of Jesus Christ, beginning with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), the Last Supper (Maundy Thursday), and ending with the arrest, condemnation, and execution (Good Friday), which then culminates in the Easter Vigil with the celebration of the Resurrection, the climax of the church year. The biblical accounts of the New Testament that describe these events paint a very nuanced picture of the Apostle Peter (Saint-Pierre), to whom the church of Charavines is dedicated: on the one hand, he is a determined disciple of Jesus, but also not free from human weakness and fear. In the Garden of Gethsemane, he (like the other disciples) falls asleep when Jesus turns to God the Father after the Last Supper and asks the disciples to pray as well. And after Jesus' arrest, Peter denies three times that he even knows him. But he also weeps over his weakness and, upon encountering the risen Christ, affirms his love and loyalty to him. His real name is Simon, but Jesus gives him the name Peter (which means "rock") on which the church is to be built and gives him—according to the account of the Evangelist Matthew—the "keys to the kingdom of heaven."

Many thanks to Gerhard Mauerberger for posting his picture before the restoration, so you can see what has been recreated from this dilapidated part.

A very popular lake to visit during the summer months when the lake is quite refreshing. Every year, there is a time trial around the lake.

Regular and pleasant climb that immediately gives us a transition from the city to the countryside at the exit of La Tour du Pin. Anecdote: Segment forming part of the route of the 2025 French Championship in the downhill direction.

Very beautiful natural lake of glacial origin in the Chartreuse. The tour of the lake is about 17 kilometers through forest and fields, and allows you to admire the landscape from all angles.

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