This loop is ideal for a 1st Gravel outing. From the village of Saint Christol, you cross the Grandbois area on small roads and forest tracks that take you to an open area near a horse farm, with unobstructed views of the Ventoux and Montagne de Lure. You then plunge back into the undergrowth, via playful, easy monotraces through a pine forest. The return journey is on tarmac roads offering unobstructed views.
