Departure from Méthamis (Vaucluse)
The hike allows us to explore the Mur de la Peste with its guardhouses and sentry boxes, starting from Méthamis, a beautiful Provençal village built on a rocky slope at the exit of the Gorges de la Nesque. The wall was restored in the 1990s over a distance of approximately 500 m. We also discover the Indochinese Trail and its history. A superb ridge with magnificent views of Mont Ventoux, the Monts de Vaucluse, the Luberon and the Gorges de la Nesque. Pretty little valleys on the way back. Various species of trees, including Atlas cedars in the forest.

Departure from Méthamis (Vaucluse)
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.

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.
