Tips from the Community
The Templars' Castle in Richerenches is a special visit. Here, one can retrace the steps of the mythical Order of the Templars, who founded a unique commandery there. The Templars left a deep-rooted imprint on the land for 2 centuries before their departure; its architectural foundation is very beautiful, created by the Templars, a group of soldiers themselves inspired by the natural beauty of the territory. Inside, you can see tributes to the Order: It is a pleasure not to be missed if you pass through Rivesrenches, and it is the best-preserved commandery in Provence (a charming small village with a medieval style that attracts with its gastronomic truffles). A true historical crossroads and a lot of heritage to discover on site related to its past! Small village, great cultural richness.

Unique, a simply magnificent view not to be missed when passing through the town! The view of the Tour de Chamaret from this route suggests a visit to the tower. Many events take place within the colossal walls of this feudal fortress; once a keep, today the lively heart of its town... The perfect little addition to this route, made entirely for History lovers.

One of the many quiet roads where you can enjoy your laps here. The surface is a bit dated, but surely a load of gravel will soon be poured here to fill the holes :-)
