This sector will take cyclists to the heart of Beaujolais. Straddling mountains and vineyards, the loops of sector 6 promise all cyclists to find what they are looking for, on loops that are both accessible and difficult.
difficult
Distance 29.7 km
Sporty side
This short circuit is quite difficult, due to a significant difference in altitude over a few kilometres.
The profile of this course is a bump:
5 km at 2.5% then 6.5 km at 6% average, 10 km descent to join the Voie Verte which you take to reach the finish.
Route rather recommended for experienced cyclists.
Tourism side
It is difficult to cross Beaujeu without mentioning the Beaujolais Nouveaux and the Beaujolais Villages Nouveaux. These wines which warm the heart at the beginning of winter celebrate, every 3rd Thursday of November, the new vintage at midnight during the Persian bottling. Conviviality and the pleasures of the table are part of the values conveyed by primers. They accompany the festive moments shared between friends.
