Day 1: Noirétable - Workshops / North loop - 58 km

We begin our first day with a small training on handling our motorcycles. There's nothing like small group workshops to gain confidence and discover new driving sensations. Next, We'll test all of the motorcycle's riding modes, including the progressive and regenerative engine braking, an essential element to ensure the autonomy of our batteries.

After lunch, we'll head north and apply what we learned in the morning. We'll quickly discover the pleasure of riding on the quiet paths of the region. Along the way, we'll find the village of Cervières, whose history dates back to the 12ᵉ century. Finally, we'll return to our base camp at the end of the afternoon to enjoy our evening.

Day 2: Noirétable / West loop - 65 km

We'll head for the Durolle gorges to start the day. This tributary of the Allier conditioned the region industrially with its old paper mills and cutlery factories. These are still the hallmark of the area today. The famous Thiers knives are sold all over the world. We will take the time to discover this age-old craft.

We'll then return into the black woods, these thick forets, magnificent in all seasons. Our imagination will be racing when we listen to some tales and legends of these secret places, once populated by druids. The slightest path we take lets us think that we will get lost in this wild universe... Finally, We'll find our guest house and share the memories of this second day around a local dinner.

Day 3: Noirétable / southern loop - 63 km

We'll be heading south for this last day of riding, which takes us along the crests of the Forez mountains. At more than 1300 m altitude, we'll enjoy different panoramas, sometimes on the "plaine du Forez", with the hill of "Roannais" and Lyonnais in the distance and sometimes in Auvergne and its volcanoes. The forest landscapes gradually give way to sparse steppe landscapes as we gain altitude. We'll soon arrive in the territory of Hautes-Chaumes, in the heart of Haut-Forez. If it is possible, we'll have lunch in a Jasserie, this pastoral shelter typical of the Loire region where local cheeses such as Fourme de Montbrison are made. It's time to taste the famous patia, this potato dish cooked for hours in cream (not to be compared to gratin dauphinois!), and cabbage sausage.

We'll then return on the Auvergne side to reach our starting point towards the end of the afternoon (5 p.m.).
