Orange walks

Discovering the Roman city of Orange and its heritage with the very famous Antique Theatre (Théâtre Antique), which annually hosts the Chorégies d’Orange festival.

Walk in the woods of the Montagne between Sérignan du Comtat and Uchaux.

About ten kilometres north of Orange, in the Haut Vaucluse, the hills of Uchaux conceal a little-known heritage: a chapel and 13th-century "castellas" surrounded by forests and vineyards offering quality wines await you.

An easy route that allows you to discover Châteauneuf-du-Pape, its vineyards and its Rhone side.

The first part of the hike is through the woods, followed by a ridge trail offering superb views of the Rhône valley. At the end of the trail, you will arrive above the fortress.

Starting from Chusclan, this is a hike over different types of terrain (tarmacked paths between vineyards, DFCI trails, single-track paths, etc.). Viewpoints over the Rhone Valley and Mont Ventoux. Visit to the medieval site of Gicon.

Route on the Plateau de Lacau and in the two valleys that surround it: the Combe d'Enfer, very wild and mysterious, and the Combe Roubaud, less steep but just as lush.

A family walk around the Oppidum of Caesar Camp in Laudun.

A very beautiful, mostly flat trail through holm oak trees, alternating between shaded passages and panoramic views of the surrounding plains and hills. A visit to Caesar's Camp will add a touch of history to the end of the trail.

A family-friendly walk exploring the Island of Oiselet and the banks of the Rhône.

Sometimes in the woods, sometimes in the vineyards, this walk takes you through the countryside of the Rhone Valley and Mont Ventoux.

A walk without too many difficulties and numerous headlands along the route.

Take the time to discover Vacqueyras in a different way! The winegrowers and merchants of Vacqueyras invite you to discover their beautiful landscapes between vineyards and heathland. This walking trail will guide you through vineyards and rural paths to the Garrigues plateau and back to the starting point in the centre of the village of Vacqueyras.

This circular walk starts from Vacqueyras and ascends to the Dentelles Sarrasines through fields of vines to Col, d'Alsau. From here a steep path leads up to the foot of the crags and follows the climber's path to the gap next to Rocher du Turk. From here the path descends on the other side of the crag and drops to the valley to pick up tracks and paths back to Vacqueyras via more fields of vines and woods. This walk is quite shaded in many places which makes it an option even in July or August. (In summer check for fire risk see practical information.)

A short, easy walk for a family outing. In good weather you can see the parachutists jump over the Pujaut aerodrome.
