20의 샹트메를레블레가지 명소 & 주요 장소

A truly beautiful stretch of the route! The stunning scenery and excellent cycle paths make cycling on the ViaRhôna a special experience! :-)

Hello everyone, Please note that the footbridge crossing the Rhône between Tournon and Tain is closed until November 28th due to ongoing construction. You must use the motorway bridge 500m away… it's much less pleasant.

The Marc Seguin Suspension Bridge in Tournon-sur-Rhône is a 19th-century engineering masterpiece and one of the oldest suspension bridges in Europe. A stroll over the Rhône offers impressive views of the river and the surrounding vineyards. Tournon's old town boasts charming alleyways, historic buildings, and a Renaissance palace. Wine lovers can sample local wines from the Cornas and Saint-Joseph regions. The combination of engineering, nature, and history makes this place an unforgettable experience. By the way, cycling is prohibited and police patrol the area!

A beautiful old bridge with a wooden roadway.

I just rode the ViaRhôna from September 3rd to 12th, between Romans and Sète. Beautiful scenery and villages. But the track quality is very uneven. Sometimes excellent, with impeccable surface and signage. Sometimes deplorable, shared tracks not maintained, sporadic signage, we go around in circles in some towns... And the biggest hassle is the train ride back, with no chutes in the underground stairs when changing platforms. Unpack the panniers, carry the (electric) bikes, and depending on the carriage, climb three steps! Thanks, SNCF.

Beautiful wooden bridge with a view over the Rhône to the Alps.

Place of passage, life or vacation, Tain-l'Hermitage is known for Valrhona chocolate, the terraced vineyards with renowned appellations and the famous N7. The Marc Seguin suspension bridge, hailed for its technical innovation at the time, now allows you to cross the Rhône with dry feet! Until the 19th century, you had to take a flat-bottomed ferry to reach the other side.
