What a mystical place, the Tunnel du Parpaillon! An old military road leads to it, which was completed in 1901 but fortunately was never asphalted later. Because the gravel road is a true paradise and an absolute must for passionate gravel bikers.

You start this gravel adventure at the summit…

Diana
July 23, 2021, GRVL: Tunnel du Parpaillon 🇫🇷

This is it - Gravel Paradise !!! The tour has only 20 kilometers of gravel, but the landscape is so beautiful that it is still more than worthwhile to tackle the tour on a gravel bike. The “Tunnel du Parpaillon” itself is quite wet, muddy and dark - and also very popular with jeep and motorcyclists.
