Route Summary climate. It is not for nothing that you see so many motorcyclists there. My previous series of routes in France were based on the route descriptions from the Motortourgids France part 1 made by Bert Loorbach.
This route comes from Motortourgids France part 2 and the original name is "Tarn and Cévennen; Route description 1 Corniche des Cévennes and Gorges du Tarn".

The routes are sometimes slightly adjusted based on the tips that Bert Loorbach gives in his description, or because of a different place to spend the night, or to achieve the minimum length of 2 hours for the MRA Library. For each route there is a more detailed description in the review, including options to stay overnight or places of interest en route, which are also indicated with a POI and if possible with a short description

RouteXpert Review Now it is the turn of the areas that lie south of it again: the Cévennes (eastern) and the Tarn (western). Characteristic of a large part of the area are the "causses", spacious and bare high plains with deep gorges. The Cévennes deviate because of their granite and slate substrate. The canyons are less steep and the landscape is less rough. It is incredibly beautiful to make a trip from east to west or vice versa, which gives you a good impression of this area which is very varied.
This is the description of the first of three routes in Tarn and Cévennen from the Motorbike Guide France part 2.
During this trip you immediately have two absolute highlights and these 169 kilometers are guaranteed kicking. The original route is only 115 km long, but there are a number of options described to include some extra passes in the ride and I have incorporated that into it.
Keep in mind that it can be very busy in this area during the high season, so you can choose to drive early or slightly later in the day, because of the rising / setting sun you get a nice spectacle as a bonus free with it.
We start in St. Jean-du-Gard and take the D260 to the Corniche de Cévennes. This stage is a succession of ascents, descents and wonderful curves. The start in St-Jean-du-Gard is promising. First you climb to a height of 597 meters to the Col de St-Pierre (RP2). The road then winds up to 704 meters at the Col de l'Exil (RP3).
You then descend quietly and from Le Pompidou (RP4) the last part starts to the Col des Solpérière (RP5) and the Col des Faîsses (RP6). On the last mountain pass, the road reaches an altitude of 1026 meters. At RP7 we turn right and drive onto the Col du Rey towards Barre-des-Cévennes. In this 12th-century village you will already get a taste of the beautiful panoramas that await you. After Barre-des-Cévennes you take the increasingly narrow D13, through a beautiful area with beautiful nature and panoramic views.
At St. Germain-de-Calberte (RP9) you take the D984, a wonderful winding road through a beautiful inhospitable area, at the end of the D984 we turn left on the N106, The Col de Jalcreste (RP10) which we follow to our lunch stop in Florac-Trois-Rivières (RP11), in the center there are several restaurants and terraces.
After lunch we continue to Sainte-Énimie where the Gorges de Tarn starts at the beautiful bridge in the center (RP13), this route is well signposted and is again a pleasure for motorcyclists.
Thousands of words have already been used to describe the beauty of the Gorges du Tarn. It is best to experience it yourself and enjoy this road that follows the river Tarn. Hereby it's often a choice between motorcycling or enjoying the landscape. This wonderful road is about 50 km long and you can enjoy beautiful curves and picturesque panoramas. The overhanging rocks along the route are impressive.
Along the Gorges du Tarn are a number of beautiful villages with terraces to recover from this breathtaking ride. Along the route there are a number of viewpoints where it is certainly worth stopping to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. For water sports enthusiasts there is also the opportunity to rent a canoe.
The end point of this great 5 ***** star route is in Le Rozier, just below Beauregard, in this area are several campsites to spend the night.

24 Magnificent trails in France
It is clear that France is one of the most beautiful and best touring countries. It offers an incredibly varied landscape with good roads and a pleasant climate. It is not for nothing that you see so many motorcyclists there. My previous collection of 25 routes in France (25 Magnificent routes in France) were based on the route descriptions from the Motortourgids France part 1 made by Bert Loorbach.
This collection of 24 routes comes from Motortourgids France part 2. In this collection, a difference has been made between approach routes and motorcycle tours in a certain area. The approach routes can also be used in combination with the routes from Motortourgids France part 1
The routes are sometimes slightly adjusted based on the tips that Bert Loorbach gives in his description, or because of another place to spend the night, or to reach the minimum length of 2 hours for the MRA Library. For each route, the review contains a more detailed description, including options to stay overnight or places of interest along the way, which are also indicated with a POI and if possible with a short description.
Two or more routes have been created for a number of areas, such as for Burgundy, Auvergne, The Alps, Tarn and Cévennes and Nord-Pas de Calais. These routes can be nicely combined in a multi-day trip.
