Exceptional panorama in good weather, and the chance to see a little snow still on the Sancy

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't perfect, but the volcanic mountains of the Auvergne were in the background. I didn't need to drive on the poor roads next door to enjoy the view.

Very pretty castle which can be visited at certain times, and in the adjacent woods there are very pleasant single tracks.

Whatever the weather conditions, it is always possible. However, as soon as the weather is nice, attendance increases!

Inaugurated in 1889, this Eiffel-type road bridge was recently restored with the addition of two separate lanes to make it safer for pedestrians/cyclists to cross the Allier River.

Near the Allier, this passage offers a bit of flatness in the middle of a hilly landscape. A pleasant place mixing woods and bodies of water.

Lots of development on the edge of Allier, tarmac path or wide stabilized track. But some playful and very nice singles survive!!!
