This undulating loop extends from the red lands of the Saint-Affricain area to the sumptuous medieval village of Brousse-le-Château. It is irrigated along the way by the Dourdou, Tarn and Len rivers. 

This long getaway has several demanding ascents, curves, and hairpin bends in store for you, but at each elevation and each turn, a new reward awaits you. The red sandstone village of Saint-Izaire, the fortress of Brousse and the three rivers with their meanders intersperse this very refreshing route situated in the heart of a landscape displaying a fantastic variety.
