[ Cavaillon | Robion | Oppède | Ménerbes | Lacoste | Bonnieux | Apt | Céreste | Reillanne | Forcalquier ]

A cycling path between Cavaillon, Apt and Forcalquier crosses the Park Naturel Régional du Luberon. The path follows valleys along the northern edge of the Luberon Mountains, without steep climbs. The elevation difference of 477 m between Apt and Vachères is over a distance of 35 km.

The entire route has been selected for the beauty of the countryside and villages. Some parts follow roads, so normal cycling safety must be observed. Parts of the path follow the old railway line, crossing through some beautiful fields and woods. Between Bonnieux and Apt, the cycling path follows a small road that crosses the 2000-year-old Pont Julien.
