For some reason we hadn't got all excited about this one.
We have parked at the immaculate free Aire at Raucoules about 1km from the path at montfaucon and went to Yssingeaux. About 25 Kms.
A little up and down but it is completely paved. Only one hard gradient and that was short.
Started off with truly magnificent views of 20+ Kms of the volcano peaks with buzzards and kites and then a buffalo farm with honesty shop so cherry yogurts purchased.
Some forest and gorges but mainly the long views and smooth tarmac made this ride lovely. If we were to do it again we wouldn't go up the hill to Yssingeaux. Not much to get excited about but they have a TdF finish in a fortnight.
Special thanks to Cleve who is no longer taggable for his thread about the steam trains around here and jumartoo who has been around here as well and may recognise the last photo.
The beer was at Lapte which has a free aire at the bottom of the hill with nice church.
Unfortunately the photos dont do justice to lovely scenery
