Rochemaure Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

A mixture of old and new, this Himalayan footbridge was created from the old suspension bridge that existed before and was built in 1858. The new bridge today spans between the two old towers of the castle.

Rochemaure Himalayan suspension bridge

Remarkable avenue of plane trees

What a pleasure to ride in the shade of these possibly century-old plane trees. An alley like you hardly see anymore. This section is on a ViaRhona (VR) route
