Departure from Chantemerle-lès-Grignan (Drôme)
The first part of this route follows the edges of the Rouvergue plateau. From the top of the cliffs, it overlooks the Crevasses de Chantemerle, which appeared after a series of earthquakes that shook the region from June 1772 to December 1773. This promontory also offers superb panoramic views from west to east for 5 km. The second part of the route takes you on a pleasant walk across the plateau, from the undergrowth to cultivated land. In June, the lavender fields add extra charm to the Provençal farmhouses built on this land.
