Luberon, Mountain range in Vaucluse, France
The Luberon mountain chain extends between the departments of Vaucluse and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, reaching an elevation of 1,125 meters at its highest point.
The formation of these sedimentary rocks occurred during the Mesozoic era when the Tethys Sea covered the region with marine carbonates.
The Luberon region maintains numerous climbing routes at different sites, including Buoux with 400 paths ranging from levels 4b to 8c+.
The Natural Park of Luberon provides year-round access to climbing activities due to its Mediterranean climate and diverse cliff formations.
Pont Julien offers climbing experiences near a Roman bridge, with routes extending up to 20 meters in height and grades from 3 to 8b+.

France offers motorcyclists a diverse landscape, from Alpine peaks to Mediterranean coasts, including wine regions. The country is suitable for all riding styles, with demanding mountain roads, winding coastal routes, and rural paths. Key routes include the Col de la Bonette, reaching 2802 meters and connecting Ubaye to Tinée over 26 kilometers. The Gorges du Verdon feature 21 kilometers of rock-carved road, passing through tunnels and 700-meter-high cliffs. The Routes of the Great Alps cross 16 passes over 684 kilometers between Lake Geneva and the Mediterranean, with a total ascent of 15,700 meters. Mount Ventoux, accessible via three routes and standing at 1912 meters, passes through lavender fields and vineyards in Provence. Regions display striking contrasts: Corsica alternates between cliff roads and pine forests, the French Riviera combines coast and mountainous hinterland, and Dordogne winds between limestone cliffs and medieval villages. Lake Annecy connects water bodies with forested mountain passes. These routes feature technical curves, varied landscapes, and cultural sites.
