The road between Valensole and the Valensole plateau takes us through beautiful lavender fields. The road and the views are magnificent!

Very nice to drive, fantastic view. Blooming lavender, grain and herb fields alternate. A feast for eyes and nose.

Joachim Bachmann
June 26, 2023, Plateau de Valensole par les champs de lavande – gravel en boucle – Réserve naturelle géologique de Haute-Provence

Beautiful circular route on the Valensole plateau. It smells, the bees are buzzing and a great play of colors of the different fields.

Translated by Google

Beautiful circular tour across the plateau. The first half is definitely the nicer one because there is less traffic. The way back is busier but almost constantly downhill (it's good when the other participants are riding with batteries and you can show what you can do without batteries on the way back 🤪)
