Now well known and recognised, this cyclo-sport event offers a number of major advantages, starting with an exceptional natural setting. The long route will take the bravest riders as far as the gateway to the Verdon Gorges, in Aiguines, with spectacular, unobstructed views of the Verdon Grand Canyon and Sainte-Croix lake. From the Plateau de Valensole to Esparron lake, via the villages of Allemagne-en-Provence, Montagnac-Montpezat and Saint-Laurent-du Verdon, there's something for everyone, whatever route you choose. All the more reason not to (always) have your head in the handlebars!
