L'Ardéchoise

L'Ardéchoise is a cycling event held in mid-June in France’s Ardèche department, within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It spans five days, with four dedicated to cycling, offering participants a wide selection of over 50 events and circuits, including options for children. The routes traverse the hills and mountain passes of Ardèche, deviating from a typical flat race format. A main route, also named l’Ardéchoise, covers 230 km. This allows the event to present a significant long-distance challenge for experienced cyclists, while also accommodating families and less experienced riders with shorter formats.
