Les Barulaïres on Les Chemins de Séraphin

de fr

Séraphin guides you along a blue-marked route, C No. 1, to explore the village.
An easy route that takes about an hour.
As you set off along Avenue de la Baisse, at the traffic lights, take a look at the rose window of Saint Maurice Church. Further on, take care when crossing the Malagrone… There was a time when it used to burst its banks. Unfortunately, the stream is currently dry.

A short walk through town and countryside on tarmac (with few cars) to explore Caromb and enjoy magnificent views of Mont Ventoux. Best done towards the end of the day to make the most of the light for photos. An ideal family walk, though perhaps a little short; I’d extend it another time by carrying on to Crillon...

The journey time is a very rough estimate; a brisk walker would take 45 minutes, not an hour.

As the description suggests, this is a short route for exploring the village, so it’s mainly (or perhaps exclusively?) on tarmac. I think you could extend it quite a bit by continuing along the road towards Crillon-le-Brave, but the short loop around the village is perfect as a ‘warm-up’.

⚑Departure from Saint-Hippolyte-le-Graveyron (Vaucluse)
This easy route, along pleasant forest tracks, a few footpaths and quiet roads, offers remarkable views over the Carpentras plain, the Rhône Valley and as far as the Alpilles to the south, the Dentelles de Montmirail to the north-west and Mont Ventoux to the east. This route also takes you up to the summit of the unusual Rocher de Rocalinaud, an ancient underwater dune shaped by erosion and human activity, where you can explore a beautiful cave. Caution: take care on this rock, as it may be slippery in places.

Please note: much of the route is on tarmac. This minor drawback is more than compensated for by the magnificent views of Ventoux, Le Barroux and the Dentelles de Montmirail. You can picnic next to the Abbey of Notre-Dame-de l'Annonciation.

⚑Departure from Le Barroux (Vaucluse)
A challenging circular route with nothing insurmountable. A little courage on the climb and caution on the descent will be rewarded with superb panoramic views from the Dentelles de Montmirail to Mont Ventoux and over the Rhône valley to the Alpilles. The pretty village of Le Barroux is photogenic from every angle and a visit to the château after the hike is highly recommended to round off the day in style.

⚑Departure from Crillon-le-Brave (Vaucluse)
This hike takes you from the recently opened bar-restaurant "Le Belvédère" to the hilltop village of Crillon-le-Brave. While the first part is not particularly difficult, the return journey involves a long, sometimes quite steep climb along the Torrent de Pié Blanc. Only the descent to Crillon is marked with red and yellow signs. After that, don't hesitate to use a GPS or the Visorando app.

The route passes successively through two peaks near La Roque-Alric to reach Le Barroux, then returns via Le Devès. It mainly consists of paths through the woods, some of which are steep, but unfortunately there is a section of tarmac road after Le Barroux.
