The walk starts at a hairpin bend on the D809, at an elevation of 422, south of Serre Peyrard. Parking is available at the roadside.
(S/E) At the hairpin bend, at an elevation of 422, take the stone path for 1.3 km, which climbs gently northwards. Go round Serre Peyrard on the left and arrive at a junction.
(1) Then turn left. Cross the tarmac road and climb up to a lay-by. Leave the tarmac behind and follow a track across the plateau. Pass the first track on the right, then a second track further on which branches off to the left. Continue across the plateau known as the Pré Long. After crossing this plateau, the track – which remains wide – descends towards the Combe de l’Eglise.
(2) From the abbey, head north up the small tarmac road. At one point, pass the cemetery car park on your left and join the D809 road.
(3) Follow the road to the right. Walk for about 200 metres before turning left onto a stony path marked in red and white (GR®®429). Stay on thisGR®®, pass a small wind turbine and then a crossroads, continuing straight on. This path winds through wild thyme-covered moorland with magnificent views of Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles (best seen at sunset for the light). The path then runs alongside a field of lavender on your left.
(4) At the end of this field, leave theGR®® by turning right onto a path that cuts across a lavender field, heading back down towards Serre Court. All that remains is to let yourself go downhill along this path through the woodland until you reach the bend in the D809
.(5) Walk 300 metres back up the road to return to the starting point (S/E).
. The abbey is a must-see!!!
