Departure from Buoux (Vaucluse)
An easy walk, partly through woodland and with unobstructed views of the hills of the Grand and Petit Luberon. Only the descent from the “Vallon des Bourras” marker requires some caution: the path is very well marked but the stones are a bit loose. The Aigue Brun ford at the start and finish is not deep and is very shallow, but it can be wide during periods of high water.
