Departure from Brantes (Vaucluse)
An easy circular walk around Brantes, a village perched in the Toulourenc valley, known as the village of talented artists and craftspeople, following the GR®91 and 9 trails as well as a few forgotten paths. A splendid panorama, first over the ridges of the northern Ventoux, then a beautiful view of the Geine mountain, Plaisians and the Nible.At the end of the walk, there is the option of a self-guided tour of the village, with its terraced streets and scree slopes where junipers, broom, twisted almond trees and, of course, brambles cling to the rock.

Departure from Saint-Auban-sur-l'Ouvèze (Drôme)
This is the first stage of a three-day circuit on the ridges of the Méouge and Ouvèze rivers. Between heaven and earth, this is an exceptional route, mostly along ridges. Throughout the day, there are fantastic views of the Ouvèze valley, the Provençal peaks such as Lure and Ventoux, and then the Southern Alps. This is a wild route, far from everything, ending in the equally wild micro-village of Izon-la-Bruisse.

Perhaps the most beautiful stage of the Tour des Baronnies. Between heaven and earth, it is an exceptional route, mostly along ridges. Throughout the day, there are fantastic views over the Ouvèze valley, the Provençal peaks such as Lure and Ventoux, and then the Southern Alps. The route is particularly wild, far from everything, ending in the equally wild micro-village of Izon-la-Bruisse.

Departure from Bédoin (Vaucluse)
Bédoin - Mont Ventoux is a legendary stage of the Tour de France cycling race. This hike provides more direct access to the summit, via paths that follow the ridges and valleys of the mountain's southern slope. At the beginning, the paths run through pretty woodland, which is magnificent in autumn. Towards the end, the paths cross the rocky landscape of light-coloured stones at the summit of the mountain. Along the way, you will come across "jas", mountain sheepfolds built from dry stone walls.
