The tourist service at Gargas :

This loop with beautiful views runs through the heart of one of the ochre massifs of the Pays d'Apt. From the very start of the route, you are immersed in the beauty of the colourful and slightly sandy single-track trails. Twisting paths, good grip and all of a reasonable technical difficulty.
