Cigales & Guidons Festival in the Luberon - Saturday 20 September

This day celebrates cycling as a way of discovering and sharing, with a route that connects heritage, local produce and conviviality.

Participants will set off from the Moulin du Clos des Jeannons, at the foot of Gordes, for a gourmet stop focused on olive oil. Along the route, cyclists will cross the emblematic landscapes of the Luberon, with stops hosted by local producers and winemakers.

Beyond the ride, the festival offers a real moment of meeting and tasting: wines, local products and musical interludes all contribute to a warm and friendly atmosphere.

More than just a bike ride, Cigales & Handlebars is an immersion in the Provençal art of living, combining the joy of cycling, gastronomy and festivity.
