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.

Great route. We went from Saint-Agrève to Valence. A magnificent descent along the gorges. I recommend it 200%.

Easy ride, all flat, picturesque views

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.

Try to stay in the lanes of cars as much as possible. There is silt in the middle and it is slippery, so there is a chance that you will fall.

Avoid crossing through the water, high change of falling! Use the bridge instead!

Mirmande is one of the municipalities labeled “Most Beautiful Villages of France”. Clinging to its rock, the village distills its charms into a veritable labyrinth of streets and stone houses. Let yourself be guided by the old doors, by a porch or by colorful and fragrant floral arrangements. Almost every time, you will come out on a magnificent terrace with a view.
