We don't have the same definition of mountain biking!!! 80-90% road!!! Advantage: no need to clean the mountain bikes!!! In short, it's not mountain biking. It's a shame the circuits aren't checked.

If we often ask ourselves the question of the height of the fortifications of a fort, here you can ask yourself that of their depth. This is the particularity of Fort Montboucons. It is a strong "hollowed out" so to speak which makes the overall view very impressive, since it blends - and particularly in summer - with the landscape. Its green roof camouflages it in the middle of the surrounding lawns. An impressive detour which allows you to find a little dirt road - it's nice with the last kilometers of hard.
