The sixth stage of Vaucluse Great Crossing made for mtb by the Vaucluse Tourism Office
Straddling the Sorgue to take the direction of Lagnes, then climb the limestone reliefs of this western end of the Monts-de-Vaucluse, passing next to the funereal wall of the plague. A descent by a single player takes you to the plain, towards Coustellet, past the Lavender Museum. You then take the Euro-Véloroute n ° 8 The Mediterranean Cycling (or green Calavon - EV8 panel) towards Robion, through landscapes of groves.
It is in the heart of the old village of Robion and its green theater at the foot of the massif, that you fall back on the markup of the Grande Traversée. Via playful monotraces, you join the banks of the Carpentras Canal to attack the southern flanks of the Petit Luberon. The expanses of scrubland, interspersed with valleys and spectacular valleys, punctuate the journey to old Mérindol.
