ViaRhôna, a cycling route alongside the river Rhône

From Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean, a unique cycling adventure unfolds: the ViaRhôna. For almost 800 kilometres, this emblematic cycle route follows the majestic meanders of the Rhône, offering an extraordinary journey through landscapes that change as you go.

The epic journey begins in the grandiose setting of Lake Geneva, where the Alps are reflected in the crystal-clear waters. Your route then winds through some exceptional terroirs, where the vineyards of Côte-Rôtie tell the story of a thousand years of winegrowing. Historic towns punctuate your progress: Tournon-sur-Rhône charms you with its medieval streets, Valence welcomes you into its green setting, while Avignon, the city of the Popes, transports you back to its glorious past.

The South gradually reveals its charms as you enter Provence. The lavender fields draw purple waves as far as the eye can see, and the hilltop villages seem to defy time, creating a unique atmosphere. Your journey ends in style on the shores of the Mediterranean, the culmination of a journey that has taken you from north to south across France.
