BOOK / ENQUIRE

THE DRÔME DES COLLINES! WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE! 

The Drôme is a department with many faces. A bike trip in the Drôme des collines allows you to discover the most unknown of them. This bucolic territory is characterized by its landscapes with round reliefs and plateaus that offer splendid viewpoints, delimited by the majestic walls of the Vercors, the Isère and the Rhône Valley. Far from the crowds, you will evolve in a rural atmosphere and you will discover villages and hamlets perched with small Roman churches. You will also find heritage treasures such as the Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval in Hauterives, the historical heart of Romans sur Isère or the surprising village of Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye.It is in Tain-l’Hermitage and the neighboring villages, that some of the most prestigious wines of the Côtes du Rhône are produced on terraced vineyards.

Day 1 : Welcome to the Drôme des Collines

We will meet you at the Valence TGV station at a predetermined time before transferring you to your hotel in Romans-sur-isère. In the afternoon we will take the opportunity to introduce you to the program, adjust your bike and explore the town.

We go up the Isère Valley for a gentle warm-up, before reaching the village of Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye in the hollow of green hills, classified among the most beautiful villages of France and a must-see of the local heritage. It remains, as in the past, a formidable center of attraction for people curious about their history. The way back to Romans offers a view of the Rhône valley in the distance and the Vercors summits. We let ourselves be carried by the hills with their bucolic landscapes.
