In forest

A mountain bike stage of gentle climbs followed by pleasant descents, as you discover the villages of the Pierres Dorées region. Superb panorama at the Col du Bansillon and view of the Monts d'Or before Bully. Ride on and enjoy this wonderful glimpse of the rich landscapes of southern Beaujolais!
