Saturday, July 12, 2025 by Haroun SouirjiNice route with mostly countryside roads with very few cars. 100% paved. a couple of a bars and restaurants on the way too. Nice alternation of angles of moderate difficulty.
Wednesday, August 10, 2022 by Philippe MetelmannNice route. Signage is definitely in order at the moment (route done on 10/08/2022). Encountered plenty of bistros along the way.

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 by P.R.Beautiful scenery, very quiet roads. Much more pleasant driving than along rivers where crowding has increased a lot lately. All signs were present and well visible. And highly recommended!

Monday, November 4, 2019 by Martine NEIRINCKXHighly recommended, beautiful scenery and roads. It was a super trip . Best to bring drinks because it is dry along the way.

Sunday, September 15, 2019 by B.D.Signage may need to be revisited/renewed.

Very beautiful surroundings.

Friday, May 25, 2018 by F.V.Beautiful route but not rideable without GPS. Numerous signs are missing.
With GPS however a super ride. Hilly and sometimes tough but for an experienced cyclist and especially with an e-bike certainly doable.
Not many places to drink along the way so it is best to take some liquid provisions with you. It is recommended to stop every now and then to contemplate the surroundings.
