GRAVEL

In 2025, there were already 600 participants at the start: the Gravel routes of the event confirm their success and are gradually establishing themselves as a national benchmark in the discipline.

The route follows the Paris–Lyon–Marseille Greenway, with its iconic tunnels, as well as long kilometers of forest paths overlooking the majestic limestone hills of Baume-les-Messieurs. The 2026 route, which is largely the reverse of last year’s, retains the same highlights: a mix of forest tracks and farm roads, guaranteeing a change of scenery.

There are three formats to suit all profiles:

  • a short discovery ride, ideal for beginners… with refreshments
  • an intermediate timed course, with marshals for competitors,
  • a long format with self-guided navigation, reserved for the more adventurous and passionate about landscapes.

This offers everyone a unique experience and makes gravel accessible to all.

NB: e-bikes (in hiking mode, without classification) are allowed on the first two formats.
