Departure from La Bégude-de-Mazenc (Drôme)
This 3-day route, running from La Bégude to Dieulefit via the Montagne de Lance, is quite challenging. The scenery is varied, alternating between forest paths and open stretches, with some stunning views (such as the Montagne de Lance, etc.). Most of the route avoids tarmac roads.

Departure from Le Teil (Ardèche)
The greenway was inaugurated in December 2025, for the section from Le Teil to the old Alba-la-Romaine railway station, at least supposedly. Bring a light ( headlamp or other) to go through three tunnels, one of which is 900 m long.
Balcons de l’Ouvèze, right bank, from Coux to Le Pouzin

Difficult
Departure from Coux (Ardèche)
A superb walk from Coux to Le Pouzin, passing through the terraces overlooking the Ouvèze valley on the right bank – the Plateau des Gras. A short stretch of tarmac towards the middle of the walk, but nothing too troublesome.
(!) You’ll need two cars: leave one in Le Pouzin for the return journey and drive to the Coux cemetery in the second car – it’s about a 15-minute drive.
