Mountain bike FFC circuit no. 5: Le Gabre

The route starts from the village parking lot near the sports field. Upon exiting the parking lot, head towards the village center and cross it: the path descends due south along a technical trail through an olive grove towards the Var. You can observe the bubbling water coming out of the EDF pipelines. Then, climb back up via a technical trail towards the hamlet "les Salles." The return is by a small track that joins the village.

Wear a helmet, bring protective equipment and repair accessories.

Watch the weather: Weather in the mountains changes quickly, bring warm clothing.

Follow the marked trails, do not take shortcuts and respect the direction of the routes.

Before setting out on a route, check that it matches your level, check the condition of your mountain bike and leave your itinerary with someone.

Be careful, courteous and slow down when overtaking other users.

Be extra careful during hunting season and inquire about any ongoing hunts.

If you encounter livestock guardian dogs (= patous), get off your bike, avoid sudden movements and go around the herd.

Respect private properties, cultivated areas and close gates after passing.

Adopt eco-friendly behavior: take your rubbish with you and respect the wildlife and flora for preserved nature.

Always make sure to carry the IGN map corresponding to the route concerned.
