From valley to valley, from village to village, a demanding and sportive cycling loop explores the pastoral landscapes of southwestern Aveyron, where the red sandstone has left its mark on the built heritage.

Which site to visit between Coupiac castle or the Combret mound, the Gos valley or the small valleys in the Belmont region? Whatever are your likings, one thing is for sure: after this enduring ride, linking several unmissable sites while taking you to an unexpected route, the pays des Sept Vallons, the vallée du Rance and the western edge of the Rougier will no longer hold any secrets for you.
