In July, you will be transported back to the Middle Ages during the two-day festival of the great falconer. The programme includes a costumed banquet, a ball, a medieval market, parades and many entertainment related to the era. Gourmets will delight in the crispy biscuits from Cordes. Made from almonds, egg whites and sugar, they taste simply heavenly!

This arrival on Cordes is magical. With a blue sky and the sun it's a bonus.

I can't say if it's better to do it downhill or uphill, but uphill it's great when the terrain isn't too greasy.

Pedestrian medieval city perched on a rocky outcrop! Above all, go up there and don't miss the incredible atmosphere of this village: fortified gates, ramparts, Gothic facades and small artisan shops.

Gorgeous! But surprising to attack at the beginning of the hike the steep streets full of people on mountain bikes!
