A relatively easy mountain bike ride, although a little technical on the descent to Combe Sauve. There is little traffic on the paved sections.

The Montagne de la Lance holds a special place in the Drôme Provençale. Easily recognisable by its long curved shape, it towers over the plain at a height of 1,300 metres and is therefore visible from quite a distance. A vast panorama opens up as you reach the summit by following the ridge.

The buildings (or ruins) along the walk tell the story of another era dating back to the 12th century: chapels, castles, destroyed villages, a fortified farm and a water-powered factory. The vegetation varies from holm oak forest and lavender fields to apricot orchards and vineyards. Superb views of the Lance mountain and, from the Col de la Roche and the ridge above Béconne, views of the valley.

A hike between two magnificent villages at the foot of Mont Ventoux, between heathland and forests. As a bonus, there is a beautiful Roman bridge over the Toulourenc.
