The tourist service at Cabrières-d'Avignon :
The same starting point as for circuit no 43, but the route soon leads off towards the village of Gordes, passes the village of Les Bories, then drops down into the valley of La Sénancole.
On the way back, the ride takes you as far as the Mur de la Peste (a dry-stone rampart) and the hills above Lagnes, before returning to Cabrières d’Avignon.
A complete cocktail, where the pleasure of riding on good paths combines perfectly with the pleasure of exploring unspoilt nature and outstanding dry-stone heritage.
Not to be missed!
Important: Watch your speed on the descent – you might not be the only one on the trail!
Variant: The route can be extended to the east by following circuit no 46, “Petit Tour de Gordes” (Little Tour of Gordes).
