Departure from Saint-Auban-sur-l'Ouvèze (Drôme)
Perhaps the most beautiful stage of the Tour des Baronnies. Between heaven and earth, it is an exceptional route, mostly along ridges. Throughout the day, there are fantastic views over the Ouvèze valley, the Provençal peaks such as Lure and Ventoux, and then the Southern Alps. The route is particularly wild, far from everything, ending in the equally wild micro-village of Izon-la-Bruisse.
