From your very first pedal strokes, you will cross the Haute-Provence bird sanctuary, where the local wildlife escorts your efforts. Between crossing the Volonne bridge and the surprising Pierre Taillée ravine, you will tackle a varied terrain, made up of 65% backroads and 35% gravel tracks.

The adventure continues southward, hugging the waters of the Durance canal for a refreshing interlude all the way to Malijai. Take the opportunity to admire its château before crossing the river and climbing back up via a country road. This circuit, ideal for athletes seeking a sense of flow, harmoniously combines nature and architectural heritage. A peaceful return along the lakeshore seals this Gravel experience—a true concentrate of freedom and Provençal sweetness.
