What is the Le Fameux mountain bike stay? It’s a farandole of Enduro specials in the heart of the UNESCO Geopark of Haute-Provence. An exceptional natural site, the Terres Noires are a true natural Bike Park. But you will also be surprised by the lunar and playful side of the Gray Lands. Hang in there, let’s go!

Fabulous Black Earths

One step, two steps, boom! The reception is difficult and continues on the hairpin above the void, balancing on this slightly slippery but still gripping black marl edge. The Terres Noires are a unique mountain bike spot in the world! The concentration remains extreme, a slalom between the oaks and the pines, the breath taken away, the steep relief of the terrain vibrates between my hands, a direct link with the earth.

Confidence returns, speed too, a skid, 3 turns, the slide path is a gift from the gods with its single track... Yess!

Surprising Gray Lands

The freshness of the undergrowth, the intoxicating scent of the broom, an impressive passage on the ridge, gullies, fords to cross, a path that weaves its way through the arborescent heather... the absolute pleasure of a wild nature in the pure state!

What's better than diving into these Gray Lands? It’s guaranteed to give you an adrenaline rush, the slope is steep, the path is challenging, the stones are rolling, beware of a misstep! The sensations are incredible, it’s pure mountain biking!!

a real escape that does us good! We immediately become aware of the nature that surrounds us and being able to immerse ourselves and engage in mountain biking like that is just so good!

Incredible experience!

The encounters are numerous, the paths varied in magnificent and wild places, whether in the forest or in the mountains. This is a great opportunity for us to discover Haute Provence in a different way. Everyone has their own pace, quietly, we walked through wild and little frequented spaces, no path is alike, we are not likely to get tired!

We will retain the nature and discovery aspect of a roaming stay but also the pleasant moments of sharing over a drink or a meal. Without forgetting the warm welcome and the smile of our hosts! We will definitely be back!!
