Feel like getting some fresh air on two wheels? Renting a bike in Saint-Alban-de-Roche is the perfect excuse to escape to the gentle hills of the Dauphiné. You hop on your bike in the heart of the village, glide between low stone walls and soon the road opens out onto meadows, hedgerows and the Bourbre valley winding below. The terrain is ideal for getting back in the saddle: undulating profiles, quiet little roads, white paths that invite you to look up. Occasionally, a gap in the foliage gives a glimpse of the Alps in the distance. Breathe, pedal and relax.

For a leisurely stroll, follow the riverbanks and nearby ponds, perfect for a picnic and dragonfly-watching. With a mountain bike, head for the nearby woods: cool shade, the scent of pine and small paths to vary the pleasures. Fancy an urban detour? Bourgoin-Jallieu is just a few pedal strokes away for a coffee on the terrace before getting back on the road.

Here, cycling rhymes with freedom and nature. Adjust the saddle, pack water and a light windbreaker, and let the day take its course. Saint-Alban-de-Roche is best discovered to the rhythm of the wheels crunching on the gravel and the bell towers gently ringing the hour to return.
