The tourist service at Cabrières-d'Avignon :

This mountain bike loop is short and sweet, crossing the rocky slopes of the Monts-de-Vaucluse before tackling the more difficult neighbouring circuits.

Things to see on your way: the cedar forest planted in 1860, the Lagnes cross, the “Mur de la Peste” (plague wall) which acts as a testimonial to the fight against the plague in 1721, the Saint-Eusèbe Chapel, dating back to the beginning of the 16th century, then the 11th and 12th century Chateau, ancient washhouses, fountains, and narrow streets of Cabrières d'Avignon.
Caution: Control your downhill speed; you are not alone on these paths!
Route Variation: the trip can be extended by following circuit n°45 ''La pierre au fil du temps'', but it is a step higher in terms of effort and technical difficulty!"
