A hike between Montagne du Linceuil and Montagne de la Taillade.
First through fruit trees, cherry and apricot trees and a few vineyards, you will leave this landscape behind to climb a more arid and stony path. From the Col de la Posterle, you will walk along a ridge where you can see the world around you for 300 km. In clear weather, those in the know will be able to recognise the Pic Saint-Loup. The Ventoux will be your constant point of reference.

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.
