THE VIARHONA

Spring is the ideal period to recharge and get some fresh air.

What better way to breathe in fresh air than by cycling?

What better way to travel south than the ViaRhona , starting from Geneva , and arriving in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhone , just after Arles , or even in Sete , the stronghold of Georges Brassens?

Whether it's for a long journey - why not the entire route - which stretches over 815 km across France along the Rhône, or for a 2, 3 or 4 day getaway depending on your schedule to get to Lyon or the surrounding area, nothing is more exotic than this way of traveling. Whether with a classic bicycle for the more athletic or an electric bicycle for the older people seeking escape, this mode of transport has become in recent years, in the city as in the countryside, the preferred way to discover the landscapes at a moderate pace and without noise.

For this type of tourism, the DOMAINE DU MANOIR is ideally located, just three kilometers from the ViaRhona . The Balcons du Dauphiné alone boasts 60 kilometers of this ViaRhona route . You'll leave the banks of the Rhone for a short while and find yourself in the heart of the Dauphine countryside with its unspoiled natural landscapes. Enjoy a getaway that is both refreshing and peaceful.

At the end of the day, Lionel and Laurence welcome you for the night – or for two or three nights if you wish to combine business with pleasure – so you can rest a little in this jewel and its garden setting. Enjoy the pool, have a drink on the terrace, and finally end the day with a delicious meal prepared by the hostess, Laurence Menu, who is also the chef, in the dining room dedicated to the Table d'Hôtes or on the terrace in the summer season.

Domaine du Manoir offers a sliding scale of rates – book online at www.domainedumanoir.com – allowing you to enjoy a wonderful stay while saving money. The more nights you book, the less it costs. From the 5th night onwards, the 6th night is free!

The DOMAINE DU MANOIR has the "Accueil Vélo" label. Your cycling "companion" therefore sleeps safely and securely, while you enjoy the open spaces and tranquility, like a horse resting and waiting for its master the next day to set off again.

But before that, we offer you a delicious breakfast full of vitamins, made with local produce, fresh bread, pastries and cheese to recharge your batteries and prepare you well for the day! A quick dip in the cool water, and off we go again!

We can also prepare, if you wish, a hearty and varied picnic basket, with good crusty multi-grain bread for your midday break, local charcuterie and fruits and vegetables from the neighboring farm!

So, don't think twice... Get on your bike !
