La Quarantaine Gravel Pit

Highlight • Monument

Hidden behind a narrow band of trees are two lakes created by gravel extraction, while to the east the Rhone river splits into two arms embracing a long island.

EDF Cruas power plant with mural

Highlight • Monument

The nuclear plant of Cruas on the Rhône River presents itself harmless, with a wind turbine generating a token renewable energy, in front of beautiful baby murals on a cooling tower, trying to distract from the menacing harm the nuclear cooling towers could signify. The plant is right along a well paved section of the ViaRhôna.

A very beautiful railway cycle path near Saint-Lager-Bressac, with many engineering structures (tunnels and bridges).
Former railway line to Privas.
Defective sections are being repaired.
The only minor drawback: the cycle path should have priority when crossing small roads.
