In the second part you'll be riding on 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 struggle with the globalized world.

You'll find Roquefort and its cheese caves on your way (6 days trip). Through the beautiful valley of the Sorgues you'll be heading to Roquefort and visiting the Roquefort cheese caves.

If you stay an extra night in Château de Sorgues you will  make a tour to the Templars cities. 

From St. Jean du Bruel you will ride via Nant, an old Benedictin monastery, through the canyon of the Dourbie back to Millau/Creissels.

In this part of  (Southern France, 'le midi' ) a district with an extraordinary diversity of landscapes, that you will get to know when hiking and cycling through this far South part of the Massif Central: mountains, limestone plateaus (Causses), lush green valleys, roaring rivers (Tarn, Jonte, Dourbie, Lot, Aveyron, Dourdou). Lots of small villages here instead of large urban areas with dense population. Le Tourisme Vert (green tourism) as they say here. No fast food here, but the French cuisine, honest food in small family runned hotels where you will get a warm welcome.
