Be careful, the section above the road that goes to stables would be on private property and the owner we met is opposed to the passage of mountain bikes. Possibility when leaving the path (shortly after the barrier with wooden chicane at the exit of the banne wood) to reach Etables by the road (on the right when arriving on the tarmac) and to cross the route, certainly losing part of the route. If you pass by a tennis court lost in the middle of the woods, it's because you are at his place!

Superb esplanade enriched by the Peynet kiosk. The park, below, is magnificent and encourages strolling. Do not hesitate to leave Via Rhôna and enter old Valencia, the Cathedral, the House of the Heads, the parks and alleys will enchant your trip.
