Lavender loop

France • Start/finish: Castellane • Distance: 160 miles • Riding time: ±4.5 hours • There's much more to Provençe than Route Napoleon and the Gorges du Verdon. This loop from Castellane heads out (okay on Route Napoleon) and then loops back through the lavender fields, ending with a stretch of (ahem) Route Napoleon... It's a great, scenic, laid-back ride through lovely countryside.
