Quiet bike connection between the towns of Concise and Bevaix. It rolls comfortably through small towns above Lake Neuchâtel. Asphalt is of good quality.

Beautiful large sandy beach. Playground and restaurant at the Menthue campsite in the East. Out of season, accessible by bike (be careful of the sand in the cogs). A Mediterranean atmosphere separates the beach from the road. View towards the North along the length of Lake Neuchâtel.
