Follow the black Mountain Bike Trail No. 17
Description
The route starts at the visitor parking lot in Eourres. It first climbs through the center of the village before taking a trail that descends to the valley floor. The trail climbs back up along a mountainside path, then heads into the woods to join a trail that descends to the D201. Turn left, and after about 1 km on the road, the route leaves the road by crossing a bridge on the left. The route passes through a field before reaching the outskirts of the village of Lachau. Then, the trail heads back toward Eourres via a track that is quite steep in places. In a small valley, the trail branches off toward Pied du Mulet, passing through fields of lavender. It heads back toward Eourres, offering a bird’s-eye view of the village, and passes through fields and woods (caution: several sections with exposed drop-offs on the descent, particularly at the spot known as “la Petite”).
