16,54 km cycling route from Le Perréon to Grandris
Short but steady, this stage of the GTR by mountain bike, lightened by descents and restorative flats, reaches the Col de la Croix de Montmain. You leave the vineyards behind and enter the Pyramide forest. The descent after the pass offers fine views. After a short effort, you reach the village of Grandris, where you can enjoy the panoramic views from the top of the village.
