Here are a few pictures of Allègre and its area taken during the past editions of our HPV week. Note that all these places can be reached cycling less than half a day from Allègre

I hope you will enjoy them and would like to visit us next year.

Views of Allègre :

We plan to organise for the World HPV championships 2006 a time trial climbing from the church (left of the above picture) to the ruine of Allègre's castle. It would be like a "fun" race but fun only for the spectators as the average climb is around 9 % with maximum slopes around 14 %.

The main place during the medieval fest :

The camp site of the pine trees :

Things to see around Allègre.

Most monuments were build during the Roman period, from 9th to 11th century.

There are quite a few nice cloisters and churches left :

Nice villages :

High mountains :

Most of all, I hope you will find the same friendly atmosphere we have every year :

After one week in Allègre, we feel like we knew each others for years. Many of us are friends since we rode together on the roads around Allègre. We wish you the same.
