All around the village of Cucuron, there are many back roads
and small paths.
THE THREE CASTLES ROAD.
In the heart of of Southern Luberon, this road leads to Lourmarin,
la Tour d'Aigues and Ansouis, to visit the highlights of Provençal
history.
Many Cultural events take place in the summer. You
will have georgeous ice-creams
at "L'Art Glacier", at Ansouis.
You will swim "l'Etang de la
Bonde", or visit Merindol, formuly home to the
Waldensian heretics.

You'll ride on these backroads, between vineyards and trees.
The Luberon is a paradise for cycling.
THE CEDAR FOREST of BONNIEUX.
If you don't mind climbing, you'll can take the road to Bonnieux
from Lourmarin and ride on the "prohibited cars road" of
the Cedar Forest. After a 5 km stiff climb, you can ride the
top of "Le Petit Luberon", with an
outstanding view ALL AROUND. You'll can see the Méditerranean SEA
