Cycling Itinerary - Tour of the Popes Enclave by bike

Not recommended for small children. Departure from the Tourist Office – Valréas Turn left and left again to the 2 next following roundabouts. At the end of the avenue, at the roundabout with a little olive tree, follow the roadsign for Vinsobres, then at the end take the D46 towards Vinsobres. The road goes steeply uphill with hairpin bends for 4 km winding through vineyards, truffle oaks and fruit orchards. At the Sainte Croix crossroads, in the bend, turn right towards Visan (Beautiful cross to be seen). The minor road follows the crest of the hill for 5,3 km and all the way along there are lovely views, on the left of the plateau de Vinsobres and the Baronnies hills, the Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail (occasionally on the right you can catch a glimpse of Valréas in the distance through the trees). 1. After a steep downhill section crossing the D191 at les Françons, turn left towards the quartier Poulidon. At the bridge, turn right towards Visan and go on the steep uphill for 1,7 km. You will come to a crossroads where you must turn right towards Visan. Have a look at the wonderful field of olive trees on the left side. The long downhill run to Visan (3,5 km) goes past vineyards, Austrian pines and truffle oaks. 2. In Visan, at the crossroads with the pharmacy facing you, turn right as far as the roundabout and then turn left into D20 towards Richerenches (7km). You can see on your right, the “montagne de la Lance”, as the backdrop of the route. Go through the village of Richerenches. 3. and as you leave the village take a left turn towards Montségur sur Lauzon. The road is surrounded by fields of lavender and aromatic herbs. Just before the bridge over the stream, the Aulière, turn right towards Grillon. 4. Keep going straight along the road (no turnings) up to the junction with the D20 from Richerenches. 5. Turn left, then in a big bend, turn left towards Grillon. You arrive in Grillon. In the “Place de la Bourgade”, take the road for Valréas and leave the village. At the last bend to the left, just past the guesthouse “Au vieux chêne”, don’t take the main road round the bend but continue straight on along the old road (so that you can avoid the main road which has lots of traffic). But still watch out for traffic on the old road. 6. At the “Stop” sign, go straight on to get back to Valréas. When you get to the town, follow the cours de Gaulle which goes up to your right and follow the tourist Office signs.
