Done: Around the Fontaine de Vaucluse

Head towards Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, following signs for Lagne. On leaving the village, park in the small car park on the left at the ‘Font de l’Oule’ signpost.

(S/E) Turn left onto the^GR®®6path, marked in red and white, which leads uphill. Take care on this climb – there are plenty of stones. You’ll reach the Fontaine de l’Oule.

(1) Continue the climb, pushing your bike at times. Carry on northwards, still on the^GR®®, until you reach a crossroads with a track.

(2) Turn left heading north along the^GR®® to reach another track junction.

(3) Turn right, heading north-west.

(4) Turn right at almost 180° onto this track – this is the Piste de la Pouraque – which becomes rideable and forms part of the^GRP®® ‘Sentier Historique du Mur de la Peste’ (Historical Plague Wall Trail), marked in red and yellow. Further down, you’ll reach a cistern.

(5) Continue straight on, passing close to point 2, and stay on this track which runs alongside the Plague Wall. Carry on southwards until you reach a junction in a clearing, where there is another water tank and an information board.

(6) Turn right onto the^GR®®6and follow it. You will emerge onto the D100a.

(7) Turn right onto the road to return to the starting car park (S/E).

Remember to take water with you; there are no refreshment points.
