Around Saint-Romain-en-Viennois

Walk under the pine and holm oak trees in the hills above Saint-Romain-en-Viennois. There are some lovely views of Mont Ventoux along the way. Between paths and forest roads, this often shaded walk is most pleasant.

Description of the walk

(S/E) Park in the car park near the town hall and tennis court. From the car park, join the tarmac road of Chemin d'Entrechaux and follow it to the right until you reach a fork.

(1) Turn left onto the road.

(2) Ignore a path on the right, which will be the return route, and continue along Chemin de Mians. Stay on this forest road, cross the Ravin de Jau and continue on the small tarmac road to Camping des Ayguettes.

(3) Shortly after the car park, turn right onto the forest track heading south until you reach a crossroads.

(4) Turn right, heading south-west into the Forêt de Jau, and continue along this track until you reach a gravel forest road.

(5) Follow it to the left and, just before Les Saintes Fonts, turn right onto a very small path that leads to a vineyard. Descend between vineyards and olive trees until you reach the Route d'Entrechaux.

(6) Take Chemin de Malaffos opposite and continue until you reach the entrance to a house.

(7) Leave Chemin de Malaffos and turn right onto the path. Walk along the vineyard and you will reach the top of the hill.

(8) Turn right and continue for about 100 metres until you reach Chemin du Dévés. Follow it to the right again.

(9) Then turn right and go up this path until you reach a fork in front of a house.

(10) Turn right to rejoin the tarmac road. Cross Chemin d'Entrechaux and climb the forest road for a few hundred metres.

(11) Turn left, leaving the forest road to take the small path that descends to Chemin de Mians.

(2) Turn left again to return to Saint-Romain via the same route you took on the way there, until you reach the stadium car park (S/E).
