Description

Quite demanding in terms of pedaling for an easy level, especially in the summer heat, this walk around the telescopes and the astronomy center is very rich in heritage along the way: wash houses, chapels, watchtowers, mills, but also wet meadows, sheltered trees, pastoral craux, etc. It is also enhanced by beautiful panoramas of the Lure mountain, the eastern Luberon, the Valensole plateau and the entrance to the Verdon gorges in the distance...
