A light journey along three rivers: Dourbie, Sorgue and Tarn.

You'll start through the Canyon of de Dourbie and the Gorges du Trevezel, cycling past fantastic rock faces.
In the second half you'll be traversing the Causse du Larzac, a limestone plateau from where the Templars started their crusades to Jerusalem in th 12th and 13th century, nowadays known because of José Bové 's strugglle with the globalized world. You'll find Roquefort and its cheese caves on your way. Through the beautiful valleys of the Sorgue, the Dourdou and the Tarn (under the new viaduct, higher than the Eiffel tower) you'll get back to your starting place in Millau.
