Calavon Greenway from Apt

Highlight (Segment) • Other

This route follows the traces of the old railway line for most of the way. The road is completely tarmacked for the entire route.

It follows a greenway for the most part, with the exception of 2 km at the place called 'Le Chêne' and for 500 m at the villages of Beaumettes and Coustellet.

The Véloroute starts in Cavaillon, then follows the Calavon valley, and ends at the foot of the Luberon, at the D 48 which leads to Castellet. You can also take the route in the other direction.

Beautiful cycle path on an old railway line through the partly rocky landscape.
The following Pont Julien is beautifully integrated into the cycle path.

Old Cavaillon Line

Highlight • Cycleway

This is one of the nicest bike tracks I have seen. Here used to be a train track and it was converted to a cycle path. Only downside is that it's regularily interupted by"obstacles" forcing you to slow down...I guess that's the purpose ;-)

Calavon Bike Path

Early railway embankment today well-developed bike path. At intersections with jambs (snatchers).
No matter which direction the slope is moderate.

Pont Julien

Highlight • Bridge

The Julien Bridge is a Roman work which is dated to the year 3 of our era. You can take the bridge by bike. What is surprising is that a modern bridge is a little further. It offers a really interesting and amazing perspective to see the two buildings side by side, and to be able to make the comparison. The large gaping holes forming part of its structure are specially designed to allow water to pass through the bridge in the event of a flash flood. This ingenious artifice allowed the Pont Julien to resist time.
