Thank you for this walk. The streams were dry, so there was no problem crossing them. The weather was dry and mild.
Ideal for hiking. The second part is rockier: be careful not to twist your ankles.
Info: the car park in Lussan now has a pay-and-display meter... which is a shame.

Easy route to follow.
A veritable butterfly highway in places 😜
It's a shame that the Aiguillon was completely dry.
On the other hand, there was plenty of shade, which was very welcome given the heat, even though I went quite early in the morning. The hike took 3 hours instead of the 4 hours advertised.
But it was still enjoyable.

A 4-hour circular hike, but easy, without any major difficulties. We completed it in 3½ hours. You have to cross the Aiguillon stream several times. So be careful during heavy storms, after heavy rain or during the wet season! In my opinion, it's best to avoid this route. But otherwise, in good weather, you can dip your feet in the water and the dogs can swim, which is wonderful. A beautiful circular, sometimes through the woods, which is enjoyable. Avoid the hot seasons, but that goes for the whole region!

The site was not busy because it was autumn and the route includes seven fords, six of which require you to wade through water, so it is not recommended at this time of year.

An interesting and enjoyable route, BUT: check the condition of the streams beforehand! Everything went well at the start, until we reached Goulet de l'Aiguillon (after point 2). There, it was impossible to cross because there was so much water. A group of hikers ahead of us gave up. We would have had to wade through thigh-deep water to get across, and in February... We turned back and at point 2, we took the route in the opposite direction. There was a lot of water along the entire route to the hamlet of Rossière (between 6 and 5...). We had to make several small detours to cross simple ditches that had become streams.... But the hike went well, until the end when we encountered another problem (which we had spotted on the map): after passing point 3, we followed the Aiguillon to the Goulet (impassable on the way there). The stream was very full (more than a metre of water in places), even overflowing onto the path in some places. And there is a ford (normally...) to cross from the left bank to the right bank and reach Le Goulet on the other side. But this ford was of course also impassable.... So we stayed on the left bank and cut through the woods, along paths that were sometimes a little complicated, heading north/north-east, to reach the stadium district we had passed on the way there... BUT: we came up against the Valat de Déros, as big as the Aiguillon and also impassable... So we walked along it, sometimes with difficulty (we encountered a wild boar that we disturbed...), until we reached the ford we had crossed on the way there (west of point 2). The hike was therefore a little over 13 kilometres for us. It took us 3 hours and 20 minutes. But we had no regrets despite the difficulties, as the abundance of water was very pleasant.

Hike completed on a beautiful sunny Sunday with very mild temperatures. Very pleasant route, which presents no difficulty and is very well marked.

A very pleasant walk. A beautiful route along the stream, then a pretty path lined with blue, pink and yellow flowers. Then a short, uninteresting section around 5. Partly downhill through pleasant woodland.

A very pleasant circular with no difficulties. The streams were flowing nicely. Several beautiful views of Mont Bouquet on one side, and Lussan and Ventoux (in the distance) on the other.
Back in Lussan, we took the path that passes under the village to get back to the car park, which adds 700 metres to the walk.
Thank you for this lovely route, which we will do again in the spring when nature awakens 🌺

Easy route, very beautiful path, shaded at the start of the walk, after the stadium. It is interesting to visit Vendras (600m round trip), a small hamlet, and Rossière, followed by the equestrian club. There are no picnic areas. The walk ends with a visit to the beautiful hilltop village of Lussan, where you can quench your thirst.

Taken this morning, at the start of a heatwave: the end of the walk, in the blazing sun, was a bit hot!
No major sights to see, and dry rivers, but the route was pleasant and the slopes gentle.
Don't count on eating in Lussan: out of three restaurants, one was nowhere to be found, one was closed, and one was full!
On the other hand, there was a huge feast of blackberries along the way!!!
@Pierre Monnier: a viper, you surprise me: there aren't any in the region. However, there are viperine snakes, which look very similar but are harmless. The difference: their eyes. Vipers have slit eyes, while snakes have round eyes.

A lovely, easy morning hike. LUSSAN is a beautiful village worth visiting. Pretty trails run alongside a river that is unfortunately dry. Beautiful view of Mont Bouquet. Encounters with local wildlife: two partridges, a hare, a viper... This interesting walk whetted our appetite for a barbecue lunch with a glass of chilled rosé.

An interesting route due to the diversity of the landscapes we pass through. For a long time, we walk along the banks of a river, then finish with a visit to the village of Lussan, which is the highlight.
