Departure from Alboussière (Ardèche)
A pleasant, fairly flat route with little tarmac and some lovely views in beautiful countryside. The natural surroundings are stunning and the route is varied.
The only downside is the 500 m stretch along the D533 at the end of the route to return to the starting point. It is possible to reach point 1 from point 8 to avoid the D533, adding an extra kilometre.
Up to (6), the signposting is adequate, but after that it is sometimes discreet, so pay attention. A map and GPS are useful on this section.
