The ride
Roll out from the parking at Réserve naturelle du marais de Lavours and follow the Le Séran river before the castles begin: Château Froid, then Château de Machuraz, then another château, and finally Château de Quinsonnas. Between them the route dips to the Le Groin and later the Le Rhône, with 1225 m of climbing spread across the day. All 77.6 km are paved, and the ride closes back at the Lavours marsh reserve where it began.
