Suspension Bridge Over the River

Highlight • Bridge

Another modern suspension bridge that sways over the river la Payre. Next to it is a ford that is probably only passable at low water.

La Payre, south of Le Pouzin

Highlight • River

Suspension bridge over La Payre. It is not as beautiful as the Himalayan footbridge of Rochemaure but it is still very useful.

Rochemaure Himalayan suspension bridge

Highlight • Bridge

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.

April 28, 2023,Der Weg ist das Ziel - 18. Etappe: von Valence nach Montélimar

At roundabouts in cities, I, my bike computer and Komoot on my cell phone sometimes have a hard time. So it took a bit today for the three of us to understand how to get onto the right bike path after crossing the Rhone 🤷‍♀️. But then there were no more orientation problems. The Via Rhôna is well signposted, along …

From Montélimar we took the cycle path along the Roubion that led directly to the EV17 (Via Rhona). Then it went along the EV17 all the way to Valence.

The area is not as flat as it was a few days ago. Small hills rise to the left and right of the Rhone. In some places, rugged rocks are visible. …

Storms and rain a plenty this morning. Woke at 6:20 with loud thunder overhead, now sitting on the loo waiting for a break in the rain to get back to my cycle tourers pod.

The storm was loud but not much rain so not too disruptive. With the rain comes specks of mud which is the dust coming from the …
