Mountain biking and walking : La Maurin des Maures

A family sporting event not to be missed in April 2027 in La Londe les Maures!

Through vineyards and hills, families and children, as well as experienced mountain bikers, will be able to admire the springtime beauty of our landscapes, and soak up the scents of the many species that escape from our Mediterranean forest.

It is in the footsteps of Maurin des Maures, the imaginary hero of the Provençal poet Jean-Aicard, that participants will be able to take part in this nature trail in La Londe les Maures.
