Departure from the Calavon cycle route, passing by the Ubac dolmen, one of the three in Vaucluse, then heading to Bonnieux via the Pont Julien. In Bonnieux, we'll stop at the village's Provencal market (on Fridays in season) and then head to Lacoste (Provencal market on Wednesdays in season), visit the village, and continue on to Les Carrières and the Château du Marquis De Sade, which belongs to Pierre Cardin. We'll stop for a picnic (the picnic is the participant's responsibility and is only included in the package that includes the visit to Vieil-Oppède, the wine tasting, and the visit to the castle when it is open, in season). Then, head to Ménerbes, which hosts a Provençal market on Thursdays during the season and is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Visit the village and its monuments. We set off again to visit the medieval village of Vieil-Oppède (longer itinerary). Landscapes of orchards, hills, lavender fields (in bloom from mid-June to mid-July), and olive trees throughout the day. Return to the starting point in the afternoon, on the side of the Apt road, towards Les Beaumettes.

Not have any particular physical issues that would prevent you from getting on the bike easily (in the hips, for example, or elsewhere…)
