Cycling Veloroute du Calavon in Luberon – from Saint-Martin-de-Castillon to Cavaillon (Cycling Thread)

Hi there! 🙂 We have recently returned from a few days of cycling in Provence – mainly in its very heart, the Luberon region. Part of our route followed Veloroute du Calavon, one of the best-known greenways in Provence, created along a former railway line and accompanied by the small Calavon River.

Veloroute du Calavon runs between Cavaillon and Saint-Martin-de-Castillon through vineyards, lavender fields, orchards and beautiful hilltop villages typical of Luberon. Along the way, cyclists pass former railway stations, old bridges and the impressive Roman Pont Julien, integrated into the cycling route. It is also part of EuroVelo 8.

This route was the first thing I updated on our website after returning home – I have just added it to our list of cycling routes built on former railway lines that we have ridden:

And soon, much more from our beautiful cycling trip around the Luberon 🙂
