리우 최고의 사이클링 경로

A great square with bars and galleries. A symphony in orange.

It was really steep. But it's manageable with an e-bike.

It is always worth cycling via Joucas instead of on the busy D/country road

Lavender fields everywhere, just coming out in some places at the end of May. Wild poppy fields amazing

One of my favorite climbs here. Nice and steady, no steep ramps, relatively good surface, depending on how long it's been since you last climbed the loose gravel, and a length you wouldn't find back home in the Heuvelland.

The place itself isn't spectacular, but you can let off steam on various climbs around the place, creating a wonderfully challenging circuit.

Beautiful, but you should approach the descent with caution, especially on the way down. Due to the road's position in the ravine, it usually curves to the right, so you only see oncoming traffic in the tunnel – or extremely limited cyclists who stop right there to look – and since it's so narrow, it can quickly become the same. After the first full-throttle descent, I learned to prefer cruising. At least in the tunnels, which become fewer and fewer towards the end.

It's so beautiful here that I get tears in my eyes every time. It's best to drive uphill, then you have more time to look around. On the other hand, the descent to Venasque is so long and beautiful, you rarely find it. Gentle curves, a great surface, and a consistently moderate gradient. I look forward to this section every time...
