Discover the villages of the Luberon! On this itinerary, you'll see the Mur de la Peste (Plague Wall), a rampart built to protect the Comtat Venaissin from the plague! 27 km long, it was built of dry stone!
We set off on a greenway and discover the picturesque village of Les Beaumettes, with its troglodyte dwellings. We continue in a forest and heritage atmosphere, between low walls and dry-stone huts, as far as Gordes. Then on to the Col de Murs, in a beautiful mineral setting. The descent, on pleasant trails, takes in the 27 km Mur de la Peste, built 300 years ago. "What is a Gravel bike? Halfway between road biking and mountain biking, Gravel biking mixes road sections with sections on trails, paths and tracks: you can go (almost) anywhere on a Gravel bike! Its versatility opens up a multitude of possibilities, whether for leisure, work or travel - in fact, Gravel bikes are more comfort-oriented! Gravel routes are a mixture of road and track. There are more or less difficulties depending on the location and itinerary! Don't wait any longer to explore the Luberon on a Gravel bike: between Provencal villages, terroirs and heritage!"
