The tourist service at Apt :
A lovely short mountain bike route with a rural atmosphere, hidden just outside of Apt, with beautiful paths through the undergrowth, past remarkable trees and with unique views of the hilltop village of Saignon.
The last stage of the descent to the Provence Plains (3.2km) is covered with stones, and can be tricky for unexperienced riders, so be careful!
Warning: Watch out for livestock guardian dogs around the Tourel farm (1.6km)
