Continuation of the Rhône cycle route south of Montélimar.

The Château des Adhémar, or Montélimar Castle, stands impressively above the old town. Its Romanesque architecture and sweeping views across the Rhône plain make it particularly worth seeing. Today, it houses a center for contemporary art within its historic walls.

Montélimar's market square exudes Provençal flair with its colorful cafés and small boutiques. Surrounded by historic houses dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, the town's long history is palpable. It's bustling with life, especially on market days with regional specialties like the famous nougat.

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.

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.

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 spring that flows all year round with strong water pressure is channeled here to a well with around 10 filling pipes. According to locals, the owner of the land on which the spring is located has given it to the municipality on the condition that it is always available to the public free of charge. Many people come with bottles and canisters to get their drinking water here. The little detour from the Via Rhona is definitely worth it.
