Méthamis is one of those villages that are well hidden because they are far from very busy places.

The pass of the line, for example, which is close to the village, is little known and therefore little used.

The tour around the Gorges de la Nesque is the absolute crowning glory in this direction: beautiful climb with moderate gradient percentages from Methamis, the descent down to Monieux, the short climb back to the viewpoint and then the fabulous descent down to Villes-sur- Auzon over smooth tarmac and great views.

Lunch was a picnic near Monieux and the reward for completing the ride was icecream at Lou Glacie de Vielo.

After a cold and a few days on the rocks, we went on the tour around the Gorges de la Nesque. After the Verdon Gorge, it is an absolute scenic highlight in Provence.
