Orgon walks

Circuit in the eastern Alpilles, first passing by the Notre-Dame de Beauregard chapel overlooking the Durance valley and a long tour over the Orgon plateau and its valleys.

A very pleasant short hike with views of the Durance valley, Mont Ventoux, the Luberon, etc. No particular difficulty.

A fine loop starting from Les Taillades. You will walk through varied scenery such as the Source of the Boulon, the cliffs of the Petit Luberon, the Rochers de Baude cliff and the Badarel Gorge, the Carpentras Canal and the old village. This walk is not recommended for people suffering from vertigo. See the “Useful information” section.

Superb cliff-side walk. Views of Les Taillades, Robion and Cavaillon.

The route starts from a typical village of the Alpilles, takes you past a chapel famous for its beauty in a delightful setting, and continues round a hill with views of the north slope of the ridge and the plain of Mollégès. On the return leg, there is a superb view of the old village of Eygalières.

Excellent walk with an amazing uphill trail to "Les Rochers de Baude" leading to the ridges of the "Luberon plateau"

A nice hike in the Alpilles to see the ruins of Castellas de Roquemartine (Château de la Reine Jeanne), and end with the caves of Calès, a very interesting cave network.

A lovely walk to discover some very narrow gorges, but with no great difficulty, and a beautiful view of the Durance plain on the way back. Ideal for families. Beware: there are some steep sections inside the gorges. You are entering the Luberon National Geological Reserve and Réserve Biologique Domaniale. This is an extremely fragile site. Please respect the site (see practical information). => Avoid this hike from January to September, preferring mornings or late afternoons.

An exceptional walk for young and old alike! In summer in the amazing coolness of the rock (10 to 15°C difference) and the rest of the year with the risk of walking in the water like adventurers! => Passage through crevices where it is impossible for two people to pass, with large caves to discover! => Dogs are not allowed on this walk. You are entering the Réserve Biologique Domaniale and Réserve naturelle nationale géologique du Luberon. This site is extremely fragile and difficult to access in certain places. Please respect the site (see practical information).

This is a classic hike that can become very difficult in bad weather and when there is water. You are entering the Luberon State Biological Reserve and National Geological Nature Reserve. This site is extremely fragile and difficult to access in some places. Please respect this area. (see practical information).

A hike starting from Eyguières with its two enclosed springs, the Fontaine des Bormes and the Fontaine Gilouse. A walk in the Défens d'Eyguières, with fine views of the ruins of Roquemartine Castle, the Durance valley and, if the weather is fine, the Mont Ventoux. Access to the Grottes de Calès site is forbidden. Return by the olive groves below the Défens d'Eyguières. __Caution! Because of the nature of the rock (mollasse sandstone, and therefore friable) and the cliffs, parts of the site are dangerous. A municipal order prohibiting access to these areas is currently in force. Take great care.__

Starting from the medieval village of Oppède-le-Vieux, this circuit allows you to discover the wild Combrès valley and magnificent views of the surrounding plain.

The highlight of the walk is the wonderful view from the lookout tower over the Alpilles range, giving superb photo opportunities!

A fine, challenging circuit in rocky terrain. A few technical sections add spice to this route, as does the intriguing section passing through the two-ended cave on the Mont Menu. The Mont Menu ridge requires concentration and a sense of direction since the cairns are few and far between. There is always a superb view in every direction: the Étang de Berre, the plain of the Crau, Aureille, the Alpilles, the Mont Ventoux, the Luberon and of course the cliffs of the Mont Menu.

A pleasant walk through the Alpilles. Not particularly difficult, this is a hike that is excellent for beginners. Nevertheless, there are beautiful stretches, commanding views and surprising natural displays of surprise and vigour.

A pleasant circuit, partly in the shade of the forest, to discover many very well-preserved stone huts (“bories”) and splendid olive groves.

A short trail to discover the hidden attractions of the upper part of Cabrières d'Avignon: the distinctive architecture of the village houses, porticos and dry-stone walls, fountains and wash-houses, the cedar forest. It also includes Léopold Truc's "paradise", stone shelters ("bories") and olive groves.

A short trail to discover the hidden attractions of the western part of Cabrières d'Avignon: olive groves, vineyards, hills, cedars, the Plague Wall (the "Mur de la Peste")

From Cabrières-d'Avignon, this is a nice circle route leading to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse going along the Wall of the Plague (Mur de la Peste) and passing by Fontaine-de-Vaucluse castle.
