Bicycle tour - From the vineyards of Tain to the Roches-qui-dansent
26600 TAIN-L'HERMITAGE
This itinerary allows you to discover the vineyards and orchards that have forged the identity of this terroir, and an exceptional panorama of the Rhône and Isère valleys. It will take you as far as the "Roches qui dansent".
From Tain l'Hermitage, the route climbs the Hermitage hillsides, offering exceptional panoramic views over the Rhône and Isère valleys. The rest of the route takes in the plateau road overlooking the Saint Vallier gorge. Through valleys and gentle hills, the route gently approaches Larnage. Along the way, the loop traverses the hills of the Drôme as far as the "Roches qui dansent".
This itinerary leads gently up to Chantemerle-les-blès, whose Romanesque church boasts a remarkable decorative ensemble, then over the first hills to Veaunes, to dominate the Herbasse plain. From the village of Chanos-Curson, you descend southwards through vineyards and orchards to reach the banks of the Isère. At Châteauneuf-sur- Isère, you join the Isère on the Belle Via cycle route (v63), as far as Pont de l'Isère. The route then follows the Rhône as far as Tain l'Hermitage (itinerary bis ViaRhôna).
For a gentler itinerary, there is a possible variant between Chanos and Tain l'Hermitage via Mercurol.
