A very beautiful hike starting from Nyons. The route follows mostly marked trails (GR®9and yellowPR® markings) through oak and boxwood undergrowth. The scent of thyme often accompanies us. Much of the walk is along the ridge, offering beautiful views of Nyons, the Eygues valley and Mont Ventoux. Magnificent viewpoint at Garde Grosse
