Cycle tour to discover the plateau of Valensole and the Low Gorges of Verdon. This half-day itinerary plunges you into an enchanting setting, composed of fields of lavender, oaks, olive and almond trees. Let yourself be surprised by the turquoise blue waters of the Basses Gorges, to be admired from the perched village of Baudinard.

Also take advantage of this tour to discover the villages of Allemagne-en-Provence and its castle, Montagnac and Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon. In Quinson, don't miss the museum of Prehistory of the Gorges du Verdon.

Itinerary adapted to mountain bikes and electric bikes.
Recommended period : spring - autumn. Summer is not recommended.
