A terrain for dreaming: the incredible Terres Noires in France
The southern Frenchman's trademark is bike reports from the most remote corners of the planet. But when his own homeland offers terrain that is at least as spectacular, he is happy to take it on. The Terres Noires in Provence, roughly halfway between Grenoble and the Mediterranean, look as if they are far away. Utah, Cappadocia or Iran come to mind. In comparison, the Terres Noires are just around the corner. And yet the unique rock formations are south enough to be accessible all year round. The starting point is Digne les bains. Trails and routes are signposted and mountain biking is encouraged. Incidentally, Provence has much more to offer mountain bikers. But that's another story.
