A Week on the Ardeche-Cevennes Divide (Video)

Belgian photographer Antoine Willemart, accompanied by friends, recently completed the 200-mile Ardèche-Cévennes Divide bikepacking route in France. Documenting their journey, Willemart produced a 20-minute video, alongside a vibrant photo gallery and written account, all published on Bikepacking.com. This multimedia package offers an intimate look into the challenges and beauty of one of France's increasingly popular long-distance off-road routes.

This undertaking highlights the continued surge in bikepacking's popularity, moving beyond niche adventure into mainstream cycling culture. The Ardèche-Cévennes Divide, while not as globally renowned as some Transcontinental routes, represents a growing trend of accessible, yet challenging, multi-day excursions. Willemart's professional-grade documentation further elevates the route's profile, potentially inspiring a new wave of riders to explore France's rugged interior, a region often overlooked for its more famous alpine counterparts.

Another beautifully shot video of people suffering slightly in picturesque landscapes. One can only hope the actual riding was as enjoyable as the expertly curated content suggests.
