This circular route offers a variety of scenery and landscapes, with gently rolling hills to ensure a bit of downhill after any short climbs.
The Tour du massif d'Uchaux begins and ends in the historical and medieval town of Bollene. The centre is filled with small streets and old houses that wind their way up to the top of the hill where the Collegial Saint-Martin stands, with excellent views over the town, the Donzere-Mondragon canal and surrounding hills.
Along this route you will pass through the town of Uchaux itself, then on through Poilence and finally Serignan, before looping back through Uchaux and taking an alternate route back from there to Bollene.
Other major heritage sites along the way include the Romanesque chapel of the Penitents in Piolenc, medieval architecture in Serignan and the Chateau d'Uchaux.
This route can be cut short at either Les Farjons, creating a 16km loop to Bollene, or slightly further at Uchaux where you can loop back to Bollene creating a 24km circular. The full route is 42km and worth taking the extra time to see the sights and changing countryside - plus the option for a bathing stop in Piolenc is hard to resist on a hot summers day!
