A lovely 1½-hour walk along a pleasant path beside the canal and then through the forest to the chapel. The return journey is along a tarmac road, which is slightly less pleasant but offers beautiful views of Manosque.

A pleasant little hike, perfect for an afternoon. Most of the route runs alongside the canal, so there are no steep inclines. It gets a little steeper and rockier between the end of the canal and the chapel. After arriving at this pretty chapel, the descent is mostly easy, through built-up areas (tarmac).

Hello,
Well, my experience will end at the start of this walk, as the canal is undergoing repairs and is closed to walkers.
I still found the starting point and the beginning of the canal very easily. Even though the driver of a construction vehicle kindly let me pass, I was stopped a little further on by the foreman. According to him, this part of the canal is closed until around the end of January 2022.
I'm going to try another walk.
Thank you.

It takes a good two hours to complete this route, which is fairly easy and varied.
It is worth repeating in other seasons to see how the vegetation changes.
However, part of it can be slippery if you do it after rain. You need good footwear, but it is accessible to everyone if you take your time.

An interesting route, but it is advisable to wear suitable footwear in certain sections: although there are no major difficulties, the ground can be slippery in places. There is an interesting circular loop: at the Mère des Fontaines, cross the stream and head towards the village, following the yellow PR markings. The views of the valley are superb and the olive trees are magnificent, but you will need to return to the campsite by road (which is not very busy, however).

A short walk best done on a summer evening, not at all strenuous, doable in sandals, but with incredible charm. After passing through a forest of pine and oak trees with views of the Durance valley and the eastern Luberon, you will come to a path where you will get a good idea of what a perfect landscape looks like.

A peaceful walk around three pretty little hills overlooking the Durance valley. Go via the western side, which is more agricultural, with vineyards and olive groves, and return via the eastern side, following the shaded irrigation canal.
