Physical & technical
Discover the beautiful Regional Park of Baronnies Provençales at only 20km from Malaucène and 8km form Vaison la Romaine! You can park easily at the parking of Piegon, where the GPX route starts and finishes.
There are some technical sections, as well as some tough hills. I would recommend this route for more experienced riders. However, most of the ride is about large gravel roads with some elevation, don’t forget that there is 1300 meters to climb!
There’s also a section with horses, where you will have to open a barrier to get in. Try to be aware of it when you ride in it. I haven’t seen any but make sure you close the barrier after you.
I highly recommend this ride if you are in the area. It is super easy to access, you can find below the parking point, it is also where the ride starts.
