Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is accessible with public transport.

Sainte-Enimie
Highlight • Settlement
The town's medieval origins are undeniable. Strolling through the old cobbled streets of this village is a constant pleasure.
Sainte-Enimie is also a great starting point for kayaking and canoeing down the Tarn Gorges.

Choizal fortified farm 😍
Highlight • Other
“This medieval building seems totally isolated, even forgotten by time and men.
But it was on purpose that at the time this farm was positioned in this location.
Indeed, its mission was to monitor the crossing of roads coming from Chanac, Ispagnac, Sainte-Énimie and Mende.
In the 13th century the castle became the property of the Bishop of Mende.
Partly ruined, the building was rebuilt in the 17th century.
In the 19th century, agricultural buildings were built around the Château du Choizal.
In the 20th century a fire damaged part of the building, certain parts were rebuilt.
The fortified farm of Choizal was included in the inventory of historic monuments in 2004.
The interior is private, however you can see this imposing residence from the road. (Source OT of Mende)
