With its beautiful and shaded esplanade, which offers an ideal setting, La Voulte-sur-Rhône has become a popular starting point. It’s hosted the riders at the Tour Cycliste Féminin International de l’Ardèche on three occasions for stages to Beauchastel where, following a large loop, Giorgia Bronzini (2014), Roxane Fournier (2015) and Katarzyna Pawlowska (2016) were victorious. In 2022, the Critérium du Dauphiné set off from here for a new finish for that race in Beauchastel, where Wout van Aert was the victor.
