Bellelay, known as the birthplace of the famous Tête de Moine AOC cheese (option to visit the historic cheese dairy with an educational tour – booking required), is the starting point for this athletic tour. Bellelay is also home to an abbey church. The baroque building, a former abbey of the Prémontrés, classified as a historic monument and restored between 1957 and 1960, is a centre for cultural and artistic events and houses many exhibitions.

Pedal a little further to find the second important piece of architecture not far from this looping route: the Tower of Moron. Opened in 2004, this work is designed to bear witness to the transition from the second to the third millennium. It offers a 360-degree view of Europe. Designed by Mario Botta and measuring 29 metres in height, the Tower takes the form of a cylinder 5.65 metres in diameter, with a spiral staircase and a covered metal platform. From here, you can discover all the peaks visible at the four cardinal points.
