The "Voie Douce de la Payre" railway cycle path connects Le Pouzin to Privas in the Ardèche and follows the route of the former Pouzin–Privas railway line. Opened in 1861, this line was the first railway connection in the Ardèche department. Initially used to transport iron ore, it later also carried passengers and freight before being closed in 1994. Today, the approximately 20 km long cycle path is fully paved and runs almost level along the Payre River, a tributary of the Rhône. The path leads through tunnels and over viaducts, offering impressive views of the surrounding gorges and villages such as Chomérac and Alissas. Its easy accessibility makes it ideal for family outings and connects the ViaRhôna with the Dolce Via, two other popular cycle paths in the region.

This suspension bridge adds a bit of adventure to this ViaRhôna. Beware of the wind, however, which, if it blows strongly, can cause the structure to move.

Marsanne is a very pretty little village where it is nice to take a break in the shade of its plane trees.

A fantastic suspension bridge, built as a modern steel bridge into the old stone bridge gates. A technical and visual masterpiece that always offers a safe crossing, but is probably rather uncomfortable in windy weather. At the western end you can still see a section of the old bridge with wooden beams as the floor.
