Bollène walks

This is a short, easy route that can be enjoyed by families with young children. Almost the entire route is shaded. These old quarries were dug into the hillside to extract sand. They were then used by the Germans during the Second World War to store ammunition. Then, in the 1970s, they were converted into mushroom farms. They are now disused. It should be noted that the first quarries were open-pit. Their locations are marked by the presence of several lakes.

This is a magical place that attracts many curious visitors. Unfortunately, the routes suggested on the signs are very old and the markings are random. Some trails are not shown on the IGN map. This loop is a good option for finding your way through the multitude of trails and getting a first impression of the site. Superb panoramic views and moving evidence of human occupation of this area from prehistoric times to the 20th century.

A family-friendly trail that explores the troglodyte village of Barry, one of the finest and largest in France.

Sometimes in the woods, sometimes in the vineyards, this walk takes you through the countryside of the Rhone Valley and Mont Ventoux.

A walk without too many difficulties and numerous headlands along the route.

The first part of the hike is through the woods, followed by a ridge trail offering superb views of the Rhône valley. At the end of the trail, you will arrive above the fortress.

About ten kilometres north of Orange, in the Haut Vaucluse, the hills of Uchaux conceal a little-known heritage: a chapel and 13th-century "castellas" surrounded by forests and vineyards offering quality wines await you.

Who hasn't admired the fortress of Mornas while driving along the A7 motorway? Now is your chance to climb up a very accessible path and admire the landscape of the Rhône Valley from a cliff over 100 metres high, then continue on a circular route between heath and pine forests. This is a variation on a route offered on site, which avoids returning via a fairly busy tarmac road between buildings and houses.

Discover the remains of local history: 11th-century Barquets Chapel, 1852 Martinet aqueduct bridge, Druids' Basin, 19th-century pumping stations, traces of an old quarry and troglodyte dwellings, St-Jean Chapel, ruins of the castle that was once the hideout of the Baron des Adrets.

A beautiful route for exploring history and its vestiges. The geology of a little-known site (very beautiful passage through the ochre cliffs of a mini-Colorado). Gallo-Roman cult at the Val des Nymphes, springs and priory. Lapidary tanks reminiscent of ancient work dating back to Gallo-Roman times (millstones, known as "sacrificial stones", ancient wine presses dating from late Antiquity to the 12th or 13th century). Medieval fiefdom of the Adhémar family in the 12th century.

Most of the walk is through the woods in the Drôme Provençale. This route offers beautiful views of the Rhône valley and lavender fields, as well as a village classified as one of the most beautiful in France, with some buildings dating back to the Renaissance.

Walk in the woods of the Montagne between Sérignan du Comtat and Uchaux.

Set off to explore the Cairanne vineyards with their plots of vines nestled in the woods! Created by the winegrowers of Cairanne, this semi-shaded trail will take you to new heights. The walk begins in the direction of the Col du Débat. You will then take the Route du Feu towards the heights of Montagne de Ventabren. From there, you will enjoy magnificent views of the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux. You will descend through the vineyards to reach the Old Village and return to the Maison du Cairanne.

The winegrowers of Cairanne are proud to offer you this discovery trail through the vineyards. Ideal for an outing with family or friends, this circular will guide you to the heights of the Col du Débat. Throughout your ascent, you will enjoy magnificent views of the village and the surrounding hills. You will then descend through the vineyards towards the Old Village before returning to the Maison du Cairanne.

Starting from Chusclan, this is a hike over different types of terrain (tarmacked paths between vineyards, DFCI trails, single-track paths, etc.). Viewpoints over the Rhone Valley and Mont Ventoux. Visit to the medieval site of Gicon.

Discovering the Roman city of Orange and its heritage with the very famous Antique Theatre (Théâtre Antique), which annually hosts the Chorégies d’Orange festival.

Here, there are no spectacular 360° panoramic views, but you can enjoy a very pleasant walk in the Bois de Laoul forest on wide, easy tracks and pretty, shady, winding paths. There are a succession of ravines, a magnificent and wild balcony path over the Gorges du Rimouren with its superb cliffs, a mule track, and some beautiful views of the Rhône valley from Serre-Court. This is more of a winter walk.

Loop around the village of Saint-Gervais in the Gard. A short, easy and varied walk, fragrant in spring with thyme, heather and rosemary lining the paths. The route passes through vineyards, olive groves and national forest.

Discover the ruins of the Château Saint-Agathe in Sabran and the beautifully restored Château de Boussargues.
