Roll out of Saint-Agrève and follow the L'Eyrieux river before the route slips into the Parc naturel régional des Monts d'Ardèche. Further on you pass the Château du Besset and the Château de Montivert, then meet the Le Doux river. The Château de Désaignes and the Château du Vergier round things off before the road brings you back to Saint-Agrève, with 1884 m of climbing along the way.
