Do you want to prepare yourself for the cycling season? Do you feel like cycling through rough plateaus with beautiful views? Then let the Cevennes, famous for the Cevennes Valleys, the Monts Lozère mountains, ‘Mont Aigoual (1565m), the Col de Finiels’ (1541m) and the Col du Pré-de-la-Dame (1474m), take you by surprise and take part in one of our cycle training camps.   
  
Each spring we run 7-day all-inclusive cycle training camps for motivated cyclists. From our base in the heart of the Cevennes you will undertake a series of demanding day rides. 

  

A support vehicle will accompany each ride and provide food and technical assistance throughout. 

To give you an idea of the types of rides we are offering, here are two examples:




               Col de Finiels  par Le Bleymard 



Le Granite


(Michelin map nr. 240-11, total 140 k)
This ride takes you through the rough granite mountain range of the ‘Monts Lozère’. The ride starts with a 12 km climb towards St. Maurice- de-Ventalon and then descends eastwards to Vialas and Genolhac (via the D998). From there the climb of the Col du Pré-de-la-Dame (1474m) will start. 

After descending to Villefort you ride west on the D901 to Le Bleymard from where you will climb the Col de Finiels (1541m). You then descend to Pont-de-Montvert and return to ‘Les Cessenades’ via St. Maurice-de-Ventalon.

  
La Vallée Française
(Michelin map nr. 240-11, total 100 k)

The first part of the ride takes you to the Col de Jalcreste (975m) and then via the N106 to Cassagnas. You then steadily climb the D62 to the village of Barre-des-Cévennes and then take the D9 to the Corniche des Cevennes.
You will continue following this beautiful road until crossing the D40 when you will descend through St. Croix-Vallée-Française and then to the village of St. Etienne-Vallée-Française. From there you will climb to St. Germain-de-Calberte and continue to the Col-de-Jalcreste via the village of St. André-de-Lancize returning to ‘Les Cessenades’ on the N106. 


During the cycle training camp we will provide you with half board accommodation at Les Cessenades, a converted farmhouse featuring period rooms, a large garden and an open log fire. Alternatively you can pitch a tent on the farm campsite. 

For more information on the accommodation you can visit our website at www.lescessenades.com.
