Castles between Gray and Beaujeu

The ride

Roll out of Gray and let the route unfold: first past the Château de Gray, then along the Canal du Dregeon and the La Tenise. Further on, castles stack up nicely — Talmay, Rosières and Beaujeu-Saint-Vallier-Pierrejux — with the Le Salon and Canal du Moulin waters breaking up the riding. It's 90.5 km in total, with 503 m of climbing, and the loop brings you back to Gray where you started.
