The Blue Route of the Ardèche (from Soyons to Chateaubourg)

This Blue Route is a cycle path that follows the Rhône River. It connects to the ViaRhôna at the Pont des Lones bridge between Valence and Soyons. It heads north, passing along the quays in Guilherand-Granges, then through orchards near Saint-Péray, Cornas, and Châteaubourg, its current endpoint around the castle. Two kilometers of greenway are still needed to reach the ViaRhôna to the north near Glun. Throughout the route, this gentle path offers views of the foothills of the Ardèche mountains and the vineyards of the Saint-Péray, Cornas, and Saint-Joseph appellations. Located in the heart of the Valence metropolitan area, on the Ardèche side, it's perfect for enjoying a ride or a walk with friends or family, young and old. It's also ideal for a wine tourism or slow tourism getaway, with accommodations in the Ardèche region (hotels, campsites, bed and breakfasts, and gîtes).
