Overview

Cycling along the converted former railway of historical Vivarais. The holiday begins along the bed of the former railway track - now actually known as the "Dolce via" - which once linked Lamastre to Le Cheylard through the mountains of the Ardèche. After switching valleys, the ride continues along the Eyrieux river, wild and picturesque. The itinerary is relatively gentle and suitable for cycletourists, but as some of the paths are not tarmacked we recommend the use of country bikes with wider-section tyres.
