Here is the route for the ascent of the Col de Menée starting from Menée

Feeling a little thirsty? Luckily, the fountain bar is here to help.

Fantastic view over the valley.

Magnificent historic city, plan a day to visit Bouligons a few kilometers away towards Valdrôme.

A beautiful climb to a picturesque village offering magnificent views. Two passes to choose from to continue the tour.

Little corner of paradise located between Miscon and Beaurières. This perched village (at an altitude of 1024m) with incredible charm benefits from a climate that is always “privileged”. It is known for its lavender festival on August 15 and its unique fireworks which are fired there on this occasion. A great moment of celebration well known to the Diois. By road bike you can access it via two small, little-used and pretty roads. Prefer to go up there to reach Beaurières rather than the big departmental road below. The effort made is not enormous. Along the way, consider reserving a table at the Bistrot, a small restaurant with a sparse menu but high-level, efficient and often local cuisine.

There is a small climb from Pradelle and then you reach a pass.

It all began in 1442 when a foundation broke away from the southern flank of Pic de Luc. As it slid, it hit a limestone spur, divided, broke into enormous blocks and blocked the Drôme at two points... thus two lakes were formed: the Petit downstream and the Grand upstream. The “Grand Lac” is 5 km long and arouses envy because it is full of fish. In 1561 it thus became the property of the Carthusians of Durban, monks to whom meat was forbidden. It was only in 1804 that a huge block, the “dad”, was pierced to let the water flow at the location of the current Saut de la Drôme. This vast dry body of water now gives way to an agricultural plain (ruined Bouligons farm and its formerly cultivated terraces) and the Bouligons marsh, the last vestige of the disappeared lake. The need to avoid the Claps during the construction of the “Briançonnais” railway line at the beginning of the 20th century also gave the site a magnificent viaduct, 244 m long and 44 m high.
