The Galapiats... who remembers them?

105 km through ups and downs. The cyclist will ride on a rather sporty route through the Condruzian landscape and on the borders of the Ardennes. This route leads him to the castle of Vêves, which is typical of fairy tales. Some episodes of the famous children's series "Galapiats" from the 70s were filmed in this castle. If you walk up the Meuse valley, you can see the castle of Poilvache in the heights, a medieval fortress that allowed monitoring of troop movements in the Meuse valley. The Meuse, a strategic border over the centuries: testimony to this are the various fortresses that line it, including that of Dinant, which the cyclist will pass by. At the end of the Bocq/Crupet valley, which the brave athletes will climb, you can see the recently renovated keep of Crupet.

In Yvoir, those who wish to shorten the route by about ten km can ride straight to the Lustin bridge to reach Profondeville directly.
