The ride
From Roussillon you roll out to the Plan d'eau de la Riaille lake, then on toward the Réserve naturelle géologique du Luberon. Next comes the Château du Marquis de Sade, followed by the Le Calavon river and the Château de Gordes. The 72.2 km loop climbs 1243 m and brings you back to Roussillon, with the surface almost entirely paved.
