The Verdon by bike, along the water and the history of the Ste Croix lake by Sam

superbe parcours et bon sens de parcours pour terminer avec un profil plutôt en descente. Parcours fait ne vélo route sur une journée. ATTENTION le chemin entre L'allemagne en Provence et saint martin de brome ne CONVIENT PAS au vélo route car beaucoup trop accidenté et presque pas goudronné : préférer la route départementale qui est sur le droite en parallèle. Voilà pourquoi je ne mets pas 5 étoiles.
