The dike supporting the cycle path crosses the marsh right through, with drainage channels and large areas of open water alternating with the forest.

Magnificent marsh, between greenery and numerous water points. Preserved in the wild, this marsh is however crossed by a practicable path even with a road bike. It is full of animal life, between fish, birds, insects ...

Longeville State Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

These gravel-type paths are very pleasant and rolling, ideal for crossing the Longeville national forest. Far from cars, surrounded by nature, enjoy the shade and coolness of the forest.

Cute little down with plenty of bars and restaurants. It's set up for tourists and locals alike. Le Velo Francette comes through here and you can join the route from here.
