Baix - ViaRhôna

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The ViaRhôna around Baix is very beautiful. The village of Baix is peaceful.

La Payre, south of Le Pouzin

Highlight • River

Suspension bridge over La Payre. It is not as beautiful as the Himalayan footbridge of Rochemaure but it is still very useful.

Another modern suspension bridge that sways over the river la Payre. Next to it is a ford that is probably only passable at low water.

EDF Cruas power plant with mural

Highlight • Monument

The nuclear plant of Cruas on the Rhône River presents itself harmless, with a wind turbine generating a token renewable energy, in front of beautiful baby murals on a cooling tower, trying to distract from the menacing harm the nuclear cooling towers could signify. The plant is right along a well paved section of the ViaRhôna.

This suspension bridge adds a bit of adventure to this ViaRhôna. Beware of the wind, however, which, if it blows strongly, can cause the structure to move.

View of Rochemaure

Highlight • Settlement

Rochemaure is a medieval village steeped in history. Its geographical location in the Rhône Valley, adjacent to the Drôme River, makes it a strategic location. Another unique feature of this characterful village is its exceptional landscape heritage. It is located at the foot of the Coiron Plateau mountains and an ancient volcano: Chenavari. It is one of the Ardèche villages with the most traces of its past. It boasts a significant historical heritage, with its 12th-century castle, 13th-century chapel, church, and 19th-century suspension bridge.
