Cycle path between Virignin and the Écassaz Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

You have to drive this piece. A dream! You fly over the asphalt, beautiful smooth, beautiful landscape. Unfortunately, the expansion ends too fast and we landed with enthusiasm in a dead end because the bike path is not quite finished.

The ViaRhôna Lodges

Highlight • Rest Area

Public toilets are located behind the lodges in the parking lot for cars and campers. We find far fewer public toilets on the Via Rhona than on the Atlantic coast (Normandy, Brittany, Velodyssee).
