Grambois walks
In the Pays d'Aigues: from Grambois to La Bastide-des-Jourdans
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.
Mirail Spring and the Bastide du Bois
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:

- the Pays d'Aigues and Pertuis.
- the Étoile mountain range and Sainte-Victoire.
From Aire des Mascas to Coteau de la Combe and back via Vallon des Roumis
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.
Le Mourre Nègre via Cabrières-d'Aigues
A beautiful walk in the Grand Luberon with the Mourre Nègre, the highest point of this massif, as your destination.
Mourre Nègre from Cabrières d'Aigues

The Mirabeau Botanical Trail
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.

Trou du Loup and Ravin de Bernadine, with return via La Bosse
An easy loop starting from Corbières, with the Torrent de Corbières gorges and the Trou du Loup. The start of the walk offers a glimpse of the gorge on a gently ascending path, with very cool spots and a wide variety of flora. The Ravin de Bernadine has the same atmosphere but with a torrent that is often dry. The climb to La Bosse and the descent on the way back take you through scrubland typical of the Luberon. A pleasant way to discover the hills and scrubland of the Luberon.
The Mourre Nègre loop, passing by the old Saint-Pierre castle
The Mourre Nègre, the highest point in the Luberon mountain range, offers breathtaking views from its crest, stretching from the Étang de Berre to the Southern Alps and including the Sainte-Victoire and Mont Ventoux peaks.

This circuit leads to the top of Mourre Nègre, the highest point in the Luberon (1,115 metres), from the north, via a series of detours. The climb is gradual. Beautiful view from the summit. The descent also offers beautiful panoramic views but requires good footwear on a stony path.
Les Hauts de Villemus
A short but invigorating walk. From Villémus, a charming village in the Luberon region of Manosque, you will climb up to a ridge which you will follow before descending back down to the village. Magnificent landscapes and views of all the mountain ranges in the region, the Forcalquier plain, and the Durance and Encrême valleys.
The Crête du Grand Luberon ridge from Vaugines
This is one of my favourite hikes in the Grand Luberon, and you can easily vary the route along the summit. This hike takes you to the summit through several valleys, offering superb views in places. The descent on the oldGR®®9trail is just as interesting for its many views. (TheGR®®9route has now changed slightly.)

Much of this hike is in the shade, so you can enjoy this circular route in summer when the sun starts to heat up.

Located between Sainte-Victoire and Luberon, the Montagne de Vautubiere offers beautiful views of the entire Provençal mountains (from the Southern Alps to Sainte-Baume).
