nice ride up from Chateau de Mont Brun
if you are planning a trip in this area- highly recommended by me for great quiet roads and scenery- stay at Le Moulin de Pensol- great b and b or gites , and run by an amazingly helpful English couple- they are just starting out and looking for guests of the road cycling fraternity!!!
