A mountain bike ride with beautiful views of the Luberon to the south, the Mont-de-Vaucluse to the north and the Montagne de Lure to the east.

On the way back, don't miss the limestone slab below the path (km 8.9), an exceptional site that has on its surface more than 200 footprints of mammals who lived in the area about 30 million years ago!

Caution:

presence of herd protection dogs near a farm (km 1.1)
the Footprint Slab is a classified and very fragile site: it is strictly forbidden to ride there by mountain bike.

Important: during the summer period, from 15 June to 15 September access to the forest ranges of Vaucluse is regulated, please contact the referring authorities.
