This route takes you from the peaceful atmosphere of the canal toward the mineral gigantism of the Pénitents des Mées. This legendary rocky chaos towers over your efforts, offering a spectacular backdrop to test your endurance on a perfect mix of 60% trails and 40% paved roads.

The journey continues toward the Lac des Mées, an ideal spot to catch your breath before tackling the slopes leading to the perched village of Montfort. Between fragrant pines and ancient oaks, the path becomes playful in the woods of Châteauneuf-Val-Saint-Donat. Why choose this circuit? For its rare alliance of "Gravel" technicality and Provençal authenticity. Here, every pedal stroke tells a story—one of a wild territory where athletic performance meets the serenity of the Val de Durance landscapes.
