The tourist service at Mérindol :
A trip to the land of sheep and birds of prey! Limestone, pines, garrigues, pebbles, cliffs, Percnoptera vultures, panoramic views… it’s a cocktail of the typical features of southern Petit Luberon, and the centre of the tragic attack on the Vaudois.
The course as a whole is relatively easy to ride on, but it can become quite demanding under the hot sun and quite aggressive when the Mistral blows...
Warning: Beware of the livestock guardian dogs on the limestone
