Château de Murs walks

The walk starts near Gordes (listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France) and passes through the Véroncle gorge to Murs and its castle. A very pleasant, energetic walk in the ravine of the Véroncle gorges, discovering the remains of old mills from different periods along the way. There are a few ladders and ropes, and an old sluice shaft that cannot be avoided.

Lovely hike without much difficulty. After climbing uphill for just under a kilometre, just enough time to reach an altitude of 700 m, where the the panoramic view of Lubéron with its lowlands and further below the valley behind Murs, opens up to you. Just for your enjoyment, this view will last for more than 4 km. The majority of the circular hike is through forest paths.

Discover Murs, its castle and its surroundings.

Be prepared to visit the caves on all fours or even crawling, but it's worth the detour. A little dusty clay, a few harmless bats, but a magnificent sight once inside. So avoid wearing a suit and opt for less easily soiled clothing. The rest of the walk will offer you generous sunshine and all along the trail you can see the Combe Denca and the Luberon in the distance and even Sainte-Beaume. The hike takes you along small paths lined with holm oaks, thyme and rosemary.

If you want a challenging circular with handrails, cables, etc. On the programme: descent of the Gorges de La Véroncle with some of its ruined mills and ascent of the Combe de Vaumale.

An easy walk between two magnificent villages in the Monts de Vaucluse, Joucas and Murs.

A hike starting from the village of Méthamis, following several GRP® routes, including the Mont Ventoux Massif trail, then the Grande Combe de Lioux, the GRP® de la Pierre en Vaucluse to the beautiful village of Murs, then the GRP® des Monts de Vaucluse and the GR®91. It offers numerous views of the Ventoux, the Luberon and the Carpentras plain to the Dentelles de Montmirail, and even as far as the Lozère mountains in the distance towards the end of the route.You’ll walk through a variety of landscapes, starting with gorges over riverbed pebbles, then through woodland, a track with views, a few stretches of road (though very quiet), a forest track descending into valleys, and stony paths... This route is physically demanding, not only because of its length and elevation gain, but also due to two technical sections: between (18) and (19), descending to the Gorges de Vaumale, and then between (30) and (31), stony descents that require great care.

This circular route allows you to discover many picturesque landscapes such as the Falaise de la Madeleine in Lioux and the Combe de la Sigalière, as well as the Col de la Ligne, offering a view of Mont Ventoux. The route consists mainly of small, isolated and very quiet roads winding between scrubland and forests.
