You'll love the train transfer from Tournon to Lamastre along the fabulous historic railway of the Vivarais cycling along the bed of the former railway, far from the madding traffic... getting to know a discrete and little-known side of the Ardèche the time-honoured railway architecture that punctuates your voyage splashing about in the cool waters of the Eyrieux
The trip begins with a ride along the route of the old steam train which used to link Lamastre with Le Cheylard through the mountains of the Ardèche department. Then, after going from one valley to the next, you cycle alongside the turbulent River Eyrieux. Numerous traces of the engineers’ work remain, and the scenery is simply superb. It’s a really different way to see the mountains of the Ardèche, the Boutières, and the typical Ardèche valleys , whilst giving new purpose to the superb railway heritage, today abandoned.
The route, with its gentle slopes, is ideal for cycle tourists. But as the paths are not surfaced, country bikes (hybrids) are recommended.
