This region of France is a wonderful location for a light French cycling
holiday with major river valleys clad in green woods and forests. Often
as though hanging from cliff edges you see many sandstone fortified villages.
Romantic ancient villages are just some of the delights to see on your French
cycle tour in the extraordinary variety of landscapes of Aveyron and the
Parc Naturel des Grands Causses.
A light journey along three rivers:
Tarn, Sorgue and Dourbie. You'll see three very different sceneries in the
Natural Parc des Grands Causses:
The first part you will be cycling
in the Canyon of the Dourbie to Nant. You'll see the vultures circling
high above you.

St.Jean d'Alcas in Pays de Roquefort
In the second part you'll be crossing the Causse du Larzac and be
in La Couvertoirade, the most known Templars town. The Larzac is a limestone
plateau from where the Templars started their crusades to Jerusalem in th
12th and 13th century. You'll find Roquefort and its cheese caves on
your way. Through the beautiful valleys of the Sorgue you'll be heading
slowly going down to St. Affrique.

At the end you'll cycle in the valley of the Tarn and ride under
the Millau Viaduct back to your starting place: Millau.
On your first
day you can cycle to the Millau viaduct.
