Flayosc by bike

Flayosc is a medieval village perché. The fountain at the center squares has water to fill your bottles. Both family cycling (towards the hamlet of Sauve-Clare for example) and sporty rides (to Tourtour or towards Verdon Grand Canyon) are possible.

Flayosc is on the Mediterranean long-distance cycling route EuroVelo 8 (EV8) running from Cadiz, Spain to Athens, Greece.
Between Fayence and Rians, it follows the narrow gauge railway section Draguignan - Meyrargues (main line Nice - Meyrargues) in operation between 1889 and 1950.
