Hello everyone! We traveled as a family of 3 (our little one is two and a half years old) along the Belle Via from Valence to Aix-les-Bains. This route spans 280 kilometers, is perfectly marked, and mostly flat except for a few steep climbs. The road follows the Isère River almost all the way, with only lightly trafficked roads and 170 kilometers of dedicated bike paths.
If you're looking for a family-friendly cycling route in France, this one is a must!

Damn that shot above Grenoble at sunset in fourth pic !
Where were you to take that shot ? Going up to Chartreuse ?
Looks like a great trip. We are planning a bike tour in that region next spring. Thanks for the beta!
Wow France looks beautiful, I’m so excited to cycle through it now that I live in the Netherlands now!
Go here. Do this. Now.
Great trip! Always love seeing mountains in the distance, when you can just admire them and don’t have to cycle up them.
