남작 프로방살레스 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

An extraordinary place, very technical and difficult, a good level and physical conditions

Orpierre is a tiny, pretty village at an altitude of 700 m with around 300 inhabitants in the middle of the cliffs. It has everything you need. A good starting point for hiking, cycling and climbing.

A very special place, not just for climbers. Pure easy living

place on top of the mountain with beautiful view

This old stone bridge spans the Alauzon and offers a breathtaking view of the gorges. The path is accessible by gravel bike.

Le Poët-en-Percip takes its name from its position (poët, which is a distortion of the Latin podium, meaning “mound”) and also from its first lordship, Domina Percipia. She is the one who is at the origin of the Mévouillon dynasty. It was in 1266 that in his honor the Poet was named en-Percip. This perched village was once a stopover on the old busy road which linked Buis to the highlands. Only one road leads to the village, which helps maintain this peaceful place.

I spent the night at the communal stopover lodge. It's not luxury, but for 10 € you can't have everything. There is a kitchen but no gas when I went there. Provide stove and meals + duvet because with 4 large mattresses placed on the floor of the mezzanine .... for fans of unguarded refuges.

Orpierre has two camp sites: "Les Princes d'Orange" which is a bit deluxe with swimming pool and chalets and a "family and kids" vibe to it. "Les Noyers" just next to it (and sharing the same reception office) is much cheaper, with very basic facilities (but perfectly clean and agreeable, more laid back and a "climbing / hiking / mountain-biking" vibe. Orpierre also has its own municipal swimming pool. Another very nice camp-site is "Les Catoyes" about 4km up the road towards Laborel. Live bands on Monday evenings in the summer!
