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!

  1. Damn that shot above Grenoble at sunset in fourth pic !
    Where were you to take that shot ? Going up to Chartreuse ?

  2. Looks like a great trip. We are planning a bike tour in that region next spring. Thanks for the beta!

  3. Wow France looks beautiful, I’m so excited to cycle through it now that I live in the Netherlands now!

  4. Great trip! Always love seeing mountains in the distance, when you can just admire them and don’t have to cycle up them.
