The tourist service at Sault :
Through this itinerary you will discover a perched, isolated plateau, where you will find vast areas alternating in growing lavender and wheat - waving slowly according to the relief.
You will find water that springs up from the fountain of Vaucluse infiltrating this stony massif which is wedged between the Luberon and the Baronnies. This limestone plateau, dotted with caves and sinkholes, stretches from the Montagne de Lure to Mont Ventoux. Departing from Sault, this cycle itinerary is a pleasant circuit without huge technical difficulties. There is also the chance to see well-preserved, authentic villages where time sometimes seems to have stopped! Cycling in this area is well-integrated and this will be made clear by the cycle paths you will take according to the itinerary: from Aurel to Saint-Trinit, then Saint-Christol d'Albion which is a renowned place for speleology. Here, you will appreciate a protected and beautiful environment.
