Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Saint John the Baptist Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The choir with the apse and the adjacent right bay date from the 12th century. The thick walls support the bell tower.
During his visit in 1551, Jean de Vallier stated that the church was being restored. The reconstruction of the nave and the vault of the side chapels, the Renaissance-style western portal and the stair tower probably date from this work campaign. The pastor asks "to continue the building and the work they have started in the said church as soon as possible".
The church was destroyed in 1569 during the Wars of Religion. The church was reportedly in poor condition in 1594 during the visit of Nicolas de Villars. The date 1601 and the inscription REIASE, which could indicate repairs, are engraved on the triumphal arch.
In 1837-1838, a new sacristy was built on the south side. Lightning partially destroyed the bell tower in 1841. The upper part was rebuilt between 1845 and 1847 according to the plans of the architect Gustave Bourrières.
