Nice Sunday morning Gravel ride. Arrived at 8 am in Miribel park, not a soul 🐈⬛ but a few hares and signs waking up quietly near the many beaches. I'm surprised by the quality of the singles and trails which are super well maintained. Would gladly do it again.

If you go there on a road bike, you have to be careful of the pedestrian-mobile chicanes.

A beautiful footbridge leads to the towpath. From there, it's a long, straight stretch to the Herbens Bridge. A pleasant walk in good weather.
