The tourist service at Vaison-la-Romaine :
For experienced mountain bikers, this beautiful cross-country trail will take you to the heights of Vaison-la-Romaine between the Dentelles and Ventoux.
Starting from the Résidence Escapade, go along the Ouvèze and cross the Roman Bridge. Turn left under the rock and then follow the path on the right that goes up about 300 m. At km 2.5, leave the road and take a steeply descending path: be careful! The next part of the route alternates between mule paths and trails through the undergrowth. Near the Le Chêne bleu - La Verrière Estate (km 8), you will enjoy beautiful panoramic views over the Ridges of Saint-Amand and Mont Ventoux.
After the ""Croix de la Verrière"" (about 1.5 km), take care on the descent that takes you near Le Crestet. A detour via the village will allow you to admire the view over the Ventoux and the Baronnies Provençales massif from the Château's esplanade.
