This second edition of theÉchappée Gaillarde will feature a major innovation on 29 June 2025: an orienteering race in the town centre. This new activity is open to all, and will delight young people and families alike.

News: L'Échappée is cancelled

The bad weather last Wednesday caused extensive damage to the paths, making them impassable.

A municipal by-law was issued today restricting access to the Parc de la Guierle.

In addition, the numerous obstacles on the paths and the risk of falling branches are jeopardising the safety of participants.

In view of these factors, the Échappée Gaillarde scheduled for Sunday 29 June is cancelled.

We thank participants for their understanding and remain at their disposal for any further information.


Reimbursement details will be posted on these pages shortly.
