Description

It is on the last foothills of the Millevaches plateau that the 63 km adventure begins... Ussel is the starting point of this sporting circuit! We invite you to discover this city with its medieval past before the first pedal strokes!

Direction Bort-les-Orgues, the ideal place for a well-deserved break! Between a large cliff more than 2 kilometres long and 80 to 100 metres high, the presence of the large dam with its important water reservoir and the surprising Val castle (dating from the 15th century), it would be a shame to miss it!

12km further on, the circuit invites you to discover the site of St-Nazaire. This site offers a magnificent landscape with a view of the gorges of the Dordogne (reservoir of the Marèges dam) and the Diège. The site of St-Nazaire is considered to be the most beautiful viewpoint in the Dordogne valley and is rated *** by Michelin.
