Departure from La Motte-Chalancon (Drôme)
Hike starting from La Motte-Chalancon, a pretty hilltop village in Drôme Provençale nestled around its church. The Montagne d’Oule takes its name from the river that flows around its northern and eastern flanks. Or perhaps it is the river that takes its name from the mountain... This easy walk through the woodland, suitable for all, will take you to the lake at Cornillon-sur-Oule.
