”L’Ardéchoise”

16, 17, 18 and 19th June 2010

There is a challenge and a beautiful adventure in the ”Ardéchoise” to suit everybody!

The Ardèche is a department of the Massif Central, situated on the west bank of the River Rhône. It is a particularly varied region, making it a delight to discover by bike. Each turn in the road reveals a new and exciting view. This visual enjoyment is accompanied by a real sense of wellbeing because here, in the Ardèche, the welcome for those who come by bike is particularly warm.
