Gorges and the Cance Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

La Cance is a beautiful river, a tributary of the right bank of the Rhône. Downstream from Annonay, it sinks into wild gorges where a few rare hamlets and isolated dwellings are nestled on the south side. A superb almost car-free road (be careful though) and beautiful old bridges spanning the river. In short, a cycling paradise!

Geological curiosity! A superb granite monolith which seems planted in the river and overhangs it by 39 meters.

Ternay Dam and Lake

Highlight • Lake

Built in 1858 to supply Annonay with drinking water, the Ternay dam now offers a pleasant shaded place where walkers and runners meet.

A pleasant path of about 4 kilometers, called the "Chemin de Ronde", lined with Cedars of Lebanon and a few sequoias goes around this 30-hectare lake.
