A smooth family journey along the water: we leave the banks of the Rhone dominated by the impressive castle of Tournon to reach the Ardèche plateau by vintage steam train. It's already an adventure ! We then overlook the Eyrieux river which winds its way through a dreamy setting, sometimes evoking the Cévennes, sometimes the Ardèche... This secret Ardèche region gradually opens its doors to us, as we discover its villages, its hidden creeks and its crafts. This itinerary also offers the possibility of visiting remarkable natural sites, by embarking on a canoe on the Eyrieux or by evolving suspended in the air on an acrobatic course above the valley.
Distance : approx. 25 km and 250m.
Visit of Saint Martin de Valamas: approx. 14 kms round trip from Le Cheylard.

As you no doubt already know, younger children quickly lose interest in different activities. The same is true when they're in a trailer, a child seat or on their bike. That?s why it?s important to plan several stops during the day in order to keep them occupied: a swimming spot, animals in a field by the side of the road, a pretty viewpoint, a snack stop, etc.
These stops keep children amused, and avoid them getting bored of the cycling. Remember to pack a few ideas of games to play during the breaks from cycling.
Most trailers are equipped with a ventilated hood which offers shade and protection from bugs, but bear in mind that the sun can be particularly aggressive for your child. With the breeze created from riding along, it's often easy to forget how strong the sun's rays are. Sunglasses and sun cream are highly recommended.
The seats and back supports on child seats and trailers can be a little hard, especially when you're using them for several days. We strongly recommend adding a layer of foam padding to make the trip that bit more comfortable for your children.
