Let yourself be seduced by the charm of Avignon, visit the Palais des Papes, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and stroll through the old town. Then, leave the city of the Popes to ride through the countryside to the Rhône and its confluences. Pedal through the vineyards before reaching the famous village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A stop to taste its grands crus is a must. Finally, continue peacefully through the vineyards to Uchaux, passing Orange and its ancient theater.

Before arriving at your destination, you cycle to the village of Fontaine de Vaucluse, an unmissable and emblematic village in the Luberon! It is here that the famous Sorgue spring gushes out.
