Grambois walks

A walk through the Provençal countryside in the magnificent landscapes of the Luberon Regional Nature Park. This route, linking two typical villages in the Pays d'Aigues, follows unmarked paths, often through woodland and away from any traffic. The landscapes are varied and reflect the richness of the flora and a past that can be glimpsed. Please note: follow the directions carefully; using a GPS device can provide additional safety.

A circular walk starting from La Bastide-des-Jourdans towards Vitrolles-en-Lubéron, mostly through woodland. A stroll through the pretty village of Vitrolles-en-Lubéron and, on the way back, views of the surroundings of La Bastide-des-Jourdans.

Start from the Mirail Spring and climb to the foot of the Luberon to enjoy a beautiful view at the Bastide du Bois. The panorama in an anti-clockwise direction offers views of: - mourre Nègre. - the Bonde lake. - the Pays d'Aigues and Pertuis. - the Étoile mountain range and Sainte-Victoire.

This fourth stage begins with a route halfway up the wooded slope of the Vallat de Pissaire before entering the Ravin du Gancet and then crossing the Aiguebelle valley to reach the hilltop village of Montjustin. The route follows the ridge of the hill separating this valley from that of the Encrême and descends to reach Céreste, situated at their confluence. It crosses the remarkable Pont de la Baou before revealing, nestled in the woods, the medieval Priory of Carluc. It climbs the side of the valley and swings over to that of the Grand Vallat, then ascends its sunny slope towards Sainte-Croix-à-Lauze, from where it reaches the top of the Cavalon valley before descending it to reach the village of Oppedette.

The third stage is the shortest of this route. After a very pleasant walk along a track at the foot of wooded hills, we take a narrow path that allows us to cross from the southern to the northern side of the massif. We then climb up to the pretty village of Montjustin, before descending via a ridge offering superb views.

A hike with two circular loops, combining pleasant forest trails with a stroll through the narrow streets of La Bastide-des-Jourdans to discover its rich heritage: ancient gate, fountain column, church, old castle, tower,...

Hike in the eastern foothills of the Luberon between La Bastide-des-Jourdans and Vitrolles-en-Luberon.

A lovely hike along the Luberon ridges, often through woodland with views on both sides. Views of the Pre-Alps and the Vaucluse mountains during the first part and of the Aigues valley and the Durance valley and beyond, weather permitting. A few kilometres on the DFCI track overlooking the valleys, but the view is well worth it.

A beautiful walk in the Grand Luberon with the Mourre Nègre, the highest point of this massif, as your destination.

A round trip to the highest point of the Luberon mountains, from Cabrières-d'Aigues.

This is a beautiful walk starting from the village where many scenes from the films Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources were shot. You can rediscover the plants of our hills by looking for the signs at the foot of the plants. The path is poorly maintained, but the view of the Durance, the village and the Château de Mirabeau are well worth the walk.

Family hike from the small Provençal village of Mirabeau to the pillars of the old suspension bridge over the Durance. Large car park at the entrance to the village.

The final stage of this route is long and varied. The first section takes place on the plain at the foot of the Luberon ridges, which were traversed in the opposite direction during the second stage. We then gain altitude, climbing successively to the villages of Glorivette, Castellet-en-Lubéron and Auribeau, the latter two boasting a rich heritage. We then descend all the way, passing through the beautiful village of Saignon along the way.
