The route sets off from the market place and then, at both the beginning and the end, follows the same route as the Pavillon Rolland circuit. After cycling through the ochre landscapes, and the hamlets of Les Baux and Sainte Combe, the gradient increases sharply, and the single-lane track narrows as you ride through the Combe de Canaud and Combe de Clare valleys, until you reach the forestry house at the place known as “le Rat,” just a stone’s throw from the Chalet Reynard. Then a technically challenging descent leads you along zigzag bends, via the forêt de Cèdres and the Combe d’Ansis, back to Bedoin.

To be noted


  • During hunting season, wear brightly coloured clothing, make yourself known and respect the signage put in place by the hunting party.

  • If you come across a herd of animals, go around rather than through it and respect safety regulations concerning livestock guard dogs.

If you notice a problem on one of the Provence cycling routes report it with the Suricate app!: sentinelles.sportsdenature.fr
Access to the massifs
Respect the regulations preserving protected natural areas – find out about restrictions to accessing the massifs during fire risk periods, from 15 June to 15 September.
