You'll enjoy some of the most splendid, rocky scenery in France, regularly interspersed with sharp peaks and deep gorges and traversed by tiny back roads where seeing ten cars in a day is considered heavy traffic. Any start date between May 1 to June 25 and September 1 to October 31, 2001. Moderately hilly to challenging. The old cit is virtually intact, surrounded by walls, towers and boasting a castle and a cathedral. This is where the movie Robin Hood was filmed.
Access is easy.
