So the first part in the direction of the Col des Portes Puyloubier is nice, on the other hand the end is very very chaotic, it is not at all gravel ... A blow to damage the bike.
Or you have to go very slowly.

Gravel riding

Beautiful stony path which dominates the south of the Sainte Victoire mountain. View of the Sainte Baume.

Gravel riding

The trail is relatively degraded on the lower part near Puyloubier. However, it allows you to go from the north face to the south face of Sainte-Victoire without going by road.
