Cycle touring in Terre d'Argence
Terre d’Argence is at the crossroads of several European cycling routes:
The Viarhôna runs along the Rhone and connects the Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean sea. This 815 km cycling route takes you from the Alpine panoramas to the beaches of Camargue. It crosses Terre d'Argence along the Rhone to Sète Canal. In Fourques, the ViaRhôna splits and continues to Saint-Gilles and then Sète on one side, and to Port Saint-Louis du Rhône on the other.
The Mediterranean Cycle Route - EuroVelo 8 is the French part of a long-distance European cycle route. In France, it connects the Pyrenees to the Alps on nearly 850 km with the Mediterranean sea as a backdrop.
In Terre d'Argence, the EV8 follows the same route as ViaRhôna.
