The 18th century market hall, with its chestnut wood frame, is an emblematic place in the village

Beautiful railway cycle path V91, illuminated tunnel with asphalt.

Railway line cycle path V91; the path at the intersection could be wider. Campsites along the riverbank.

A few meters near the bridge the cycle path is dangerously narrow.

I love walking through old railway tunnels and this one is particularly pleasant: a guaranteed refreshing moment! A beautiful structure that is well worth the detour!
