Highlight (Segment) • Trail

An absolute must for more experienced MTB riders. Best to drive from the city center. But this should be on dry ground, otherwise it's just too dangerous because it's too slippery.

Philippe Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

This tower was the dream of the artist Philippe Audibert. In 1885, his dream was to be able to enjoy a magnificent view of the sea and the surrounding area.

You can also drive 🚘 to 🅿️. There are three paths of different lengths to experience the cedar forest. Very well done. One path is even wheelchair accessible (see pictures). The forest is absolutely worth a detour.

August 21, 2022,Schöner Weg zwischen Mauern. – Easy singletrail (S1) Circuit à partir de Bonnieux

A good physical condition is essential, the descent after crossing the cedar forest towards Bonnieux is practically impassable by mountain bike I had to go down for 40 minutes next to the bike because of a narrow and stony path for beginners. abstain
