Start in Millau, Gorges du Tarn, Causses Méjean.

To keep these bike-tours as a light version you'll be cycling down in the canyons and the valleys. When cycling up the plateau a moderate or even challenging tour can be made with daily distances of 60 to 90 km and with 1 to 4 climbs of 400 m per day (rise increase of 7-9 degree, 400m. altitude difference, climbs of 4 - 7 kmlong).

The scenery in the Gorges is rather spectacular.

No fast food here, but the French cuisine, honest food in small family-run hotels and you will get a warm welcome.
