Long live cycling ! Over the last ten years, a few kilometres between Cavaillon and Forcalquier were sign-posted for cycling, and the services of Vélo Loisir en Luberon were being set up… Then came the creation of adjoining itineraries such as the Ochres by Bike and Cycling around the le Pays Forcalquier and the Montagne de Lure while the Tour du Luberon went as far as Cavaillon via Manosque south of the range. The growing number of visitors and the enthusiasm for these cycling itineraries has encouraged the territory to develop more: The Calavon cycle path*, a green road between Cavaillon and Apt, and Cycling in the Pays d’Aigues**. This territory in the Luberon Natural Regional Park, the natural link between the Vaucluse and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence departments is decidedly biking country… as demonstrated by the some 450 km of marked and secure roads they offer. The Vélo Loisir en Luberon network, a professional organisation for your cycling holiday, completes this offer. All you need to do is plan your holiday using the interactive map on its website. The network will be delighted to welcome you in the near future. *at present 18 km between Pont Julien and le Boisset. ** set up end of 2009
