Cycling across the historic Ruoms Bridge is a must for cycle tourists exploring the Ardèche region. The stone bridge spans the Ardèche River, offering fantastic views of the water below and the surrounding rocky cliffs. As you cycle, admire the charming scenery of the old town and the lush greenery lining the banks of the river.
