Beautiful asphalt road, in the Rance valley, between Saint-Étienne-de-Maurs and Roannes-Saint-Mary. Numerous signs, intended for cyclists, announcing the difference in altitude have been installed on the shoulders. In the fall, watch out for chestnuts on the road!

It is a bit of a climb, but then you also have a beautiful place with a view and a small church

If you cycle past, don't forget to look to the right, because this beautiful church is located just in the bend on a hill.
