Day 1. Easing in. Right from the doorstep, we'll give you a taste of what
is to come during the rest of the week. Our route takes us down the unmissable 'route des gorges', high above the limestone
canyon of the Ardèche river.
|
|
|
Day 2. Les Vans. An early climb and long descent take us onto the Chazessac plain before tackling
the ascent to Thines. Quiet roads, incredible scenery.
|
|
|
Day 3. Rhone Vista. Today we cross the Ardeche and up onto the plateau at St
Remeze. Our circuit is part of the Internaional Tour d'Ardèche and looks over the cliffs to the distant Rhone valley.

|
|
Day 4. Free day. Giving you a chance to head out with the maps or to take in some of the other
regional delights and activities. the canoe descent of the river is highly recommended if you choose a day out of
the saddle.

|
|
Day 5. Mont Ventoux. One of the most famous ascents in France. We drive to the start of the iconic
cone which ascends from 290m up to the 1912m peak over the course of 23 gruelling kilometres.

|
Day 6. Group choice. With hundreds and hundreds of miles of Ardèche left to experience
- what did you like most so far? We will have plenty more of it in store for you...
