Abricots et vignes

Leaving Buis-les-Baronnies, you'll tackle the north face of the Col d'Ey through a backdrop of olive trees before entering the Sainte-Jalle valley on a road lined with apricot orchards (Orangés de Provence, Bergerons, Orangered). Once at the bottom of the valley, the road beside the river (l'Ennuye) takes you to its confluence with the Eygues, where you pass through the village of Curnier to reach the village of Les Pilles, via a small secondary road. You'll then come to the discreet Col de la Croix, which you'll climb via Châteauneuf-de-Bordette. You then head back down towards the Vinsobres plain, home to a famous vineyard (AOP Vinsobres), before turning off towards Puyméras and Mérindol-les-Oliviers. Finally, to reach Buis-les-Baronnies, we suggest you take the little road up to Propiac, which is magnificent but requires a little more pedal power!
