20의 라 쿠쿠르드가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The suspension bridge over the La Payre River near Le Pouzin in the Ardèche is a functional structure that primarily serves as a pedestrian bridge. It connects the southern bank of the La Payre with the western part of the village and is a useful crossing for hikers and cyclists. The bridge is part of the "Voie douce de la Payre," a former railway line now used as a cycling and hiking path.

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.

This ford is only passable on hot days and when the water is low. Because of the risk of falling, it is safer to use the suspension bridge next to it.

A small, medieval town at the foot of the castle of the same name, which is privately owned. A special feature is the public spring that provides fresh water all year round, the quality of which is regularly checked. Many people get their drinking water here.

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.

A really beautiful suspension bridge that goes over the Rhône. Quite wobbly.
