The tourist service at Avignon :
A 50% road, 50% gravel route that takes you to and from the Saint Jean chapel and the Combe de Clare.
Depart from Flassan, and climb the Route de la Gabelle for around 5 km before forking onto a forest track that continues its steep ascent to the Chapelle Saint Jean. Once north of the chapel, the route follows a playful 3 km monotrace through the deep beech forest of the Combe de Clare. This is followed by a short, technical climb before arriving on a well-cleared meadow. The route then descends on the original trail.
