Talmotte meadows

A pleasant and easy-to-ride section for mountain bikes and gravel bikes.
During wet weather, avoid the footpath to the marsh; it will be muddy at the very least and completely flooded at best.

Very bucolic path along the Marque.
In fine gravel, it is very rolling and ideal for gravel.
