Day 3: This last easier day offers a typical Provençal experience with the crossing of the Valensole plateau and the lavender fields, then towards the olive trees fields of the Val de Durance and the rocks of the Pénitents in Les Mées, possibility of extending the end of the stage by the Lure's mountain challenge.
