Grignan walks

Short, easy walk around the pretty village of Réauville.

This is a pleasant family walk, the first part of which takes place in the forest and leads to the Monastery of Aiguebelle, located on the loop. The second part leads through heathland and lavender fields to a plateau where the view gradually opens up to Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail, La Lance, the Baronnies and, closer by, the Château de Grignan and the Donjon de Chamaret.

This loop leads to the moving ruins of the former Aleyrac Abbey. Along the way, you will enjoy views of the Grignan plain and the valley.

This is an easy hike that alternates between cool woodland and wide open trails on the plateau. You will pass through the hamlet of CÎtelles with its small chapel and waterfall, which is only accessible from above. The return journey follows the stream, where you can take a dip in places. The route crosses the river four times via small bridges or large stones. This is a very pleasant walk in summer, and the breaks by the water are very welcome.

This lovely loop along the ridges of L'Izard and Mont Laroche offers magnificent views of the Roubion valley as far as the foothills of the Vercors and the 3 Becs. Starting from the pretty village of La Touche, the route passes the castles of Rochefort-en-Valdaine, then the truffle fields of Janeston. The hike also crosses the pretty little hamlet of Moulin de Bay on the riverbank, via a succession of varied paths and trails, which are sometimes steep but only for short distances.

This walk takes you to the Saint-Blaise priory and the ruins of La Viale, as well as through ravines carved out of ochre veins.

A pleasant hike to the chapel perched above Rousset-les-Vignes, which is visible from far away.

A beautiful route for exploring history and its vestiges. The geology of a little-known site (very beautiful passage through the ochre cliffs of a mini-Colorado). Gallo-Roman cult at the Val des Nymphes, springs and priory. Lapidary tanks reminiscent of ancient work dating back to Gallo-Roman times (millstones, known as "sacrificial stones", ancient wine presses dating from late Antiquity to the 12th or 13th century). Medieval fiefdom of the Adhémar family in the 12th century.

Most of the walk is through the woods in the Drôme Provençale. This route offers beautiful views of the Rhône valley and lavender fields, as well as a village classified as one of the most beautiful in France, with some buildings dating back to the Renaissance.

The Montagne de la Lance holds a special place in the Drôme Provençale. Easily recognisable by its long curved shape, it towers over the plain at a height of 1,300 metres and is therefore visible from quite a distance. A vast panorama opens up as you reach the summit by following the ridge.

A classic peak in the Drôme Provençale, offering a magnificent 360-degree panorama stretching from the Rhône Valley to the Hautes-Alpes, Ventoux and Diois. The departure point from the Fontlargias lodge offers a shorter loop route than other options, on good paths with no technical difficulties.

Along the river, along a wide track, through the pinewoods and up a steep incline: these are just some of the variations that will give you your first taste of mountain biking in an always pleasant setting. Ideal for beginners and families!

The Saracen Caves at the ruins of the old village of Béconne provide a short walk through the woods and fields of lavender and lead you on an enjoyable route among the vestiges of the past and let you indulge your imagination.

Hike starting from Poët-Laval, offering sweeping views of the Vercors, the Rhône Valley and northern Vaucluse.

A family-friendly trail that explores the troglodyte village of Barry, one of the finest and largest in France.

A lovely walk along the hills of the Dieulefit region.

Not far from Vaison-La-Romaine, the upper reaches of the village of Buisson offer a balcony route for most of this itinerary. On minor roads, forest tracks and paths, between vineyards and undergrowth, walkers can admire the Aygues valley, the Lance mountain and those of the Baronnies provençales, the distinctive skyline drawn by Mont Ventoux, the Saint Amand ridge and the Dentelles de Montmirail, while in the foreground, crops and hedges offer a lush bocage landscape.

On the border between the Baronnies and the Diois, Saint-Maurice is famous for its chapel and ridges. There is a beautiful view to the north with the forest of Saoû, the Trois Becs at Roche Colombe, the Grand Delmas and the Montagne de Couspeau in the background, and to the south, the Montagne de la Lance and, on a clear day, Mont Ventoux.

On the border between the Baronnies and the Diois, this route takes you to the cliffs of Eyzahut with the large arch carved into the cliff, the famous "Trou du Furet". Caution: tricky sections. Route reserved for experienced hikers.
