A towpath, or "chemin de halage," which runs alongside the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transportation infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could be propelled by motors, horses walked along the bank, pulling the vessel against the current. This was called "treideln," and that's how towpaths got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths, located directly on the riverbank, have been preserved, they are popular with hikers and cyclists.

A superb road through the Apremont gorges. You can continue along the gorge road to Les Nefliers and then the forest road to the castle.

Lovely decent

Quite a nice route, with a short stretch of track between the 19th and 22nd km

The origins of this imposing wayside cross are said to date back to the 17th century. Since then, it has been destroyed several times – including during the French Revolution – but has been rebuilt time and again. The crossing, the intersection of the cross's longitudinal and transverse beams, is designed as a closed circle, and the transverse beam bears the inscription "Croix de Calvaire." The name refers to Calvary, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Golgotha (this Aramaic word, like the Latin word "calvaire," means "place of skulls") near Jerusalem.
