Via Ardèche near Saint-Paul-le-Jeune

Highlight • Cycleway

The Via Ardèche with a total length of 24 kilometers takes the route of two old railway lines in the south of the Vivarais, including the old line from Teil to Alès. Long in gravel, it was completely asphalted during the summer of 2022. If you like very smooth surfaces, and the calm of a road without cars, then come and discover this superb cycle path on the edge of the Cévennes National Park.

Gadilhe tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

This tunnel, which is part of the greenway, was recently built. A magnificent paved track crosses it entirely. He is more enlightened. You can borrow it without fear.

Via Ardeche and Tunnel Avelas

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

In the tunnel it is best to drive on the asphalt, after that there is too much grit on the asphalt or concrete

Cycle path on the old railroad line

Highlight • Other

Via Ardèche is a great cycle path, ex railway, through the Ardèche. Too bad the path is divided into separate segments. Segments are not easy to find and connect... Thís is an interesting piece with very nice tunnels in it. If the segments were connected, many more tourists would also be able to find this fun piece. There has been quite a bit of investment in these tunnels, you can tell by everything! For example, there is dynamic lighting, when you pass the lights turn on and off automatically...
