Our story

About G&C

A gravel event born in Provence, built to make the discipline grow and to show off the heritage of the Avignon area.

Our mission

Grow gravel, reveal a territory

At Gravel & Castles, we bring adventure and community together. Our event is built to challenge elite riders and welcome families alike, in a spirit of grit and togetherness.

We want to help professionalise gravel racing in Europe, showcase the economy and heritage of the Avignon area, and prove that a major sporting event can be light on the places it rides through.
