Refine your search for walks in Roche-Saint-Secret-Béconne
In the Lance scrubland

The buildings (or ruins) along the walk tell the story of another era dating back to the 12th century: chapels, castles, destroyed villages, a fortified farm and a water-powered factory.
The vegetation varies from holm oak forest and lavender fields to apricot orchards and vineyards.
Superb views of the Lance mountain and, from the Col de la Roche and the ridge above Béconne, views of the valley.
La Lance via the Rocher des Aures

The Montagne de la Lance holds a special place in the Drôme Provençale. Easily recognisable by its long curved shape, it towers over the plain at a height of 1,300 metres and is therefore visible from quite a distance.
A vast panorama opens up as you reach the summit by following the ridge.
Mont Rachas

Located between the Rhône Valley, the Diois and the gateway to Provence, Mont Rachas offers superb 360° views thanks to its central location.
Trails and small paths, alternating between climbs and flat sections, make for a relatively easy ascent. The return journey is enhanced by a short detour to the Tour d'Alençon, a 12th-century ruin.
Montagne de la Lance loop trail from the Fontlargias lodge

A classic peak in the Drôme Provençale, offering a magnificent 360-degree panorama stretching from the Rhône Valley to the Hautes-Alpes, Ventoux and Diois.
The departure point from the Fontlargias lodge offers a shorter loop route than other options, on good paths with no technical difficulties.
Saracen Caves - Ruins of Béconne

The Saracen Caves at the ruins of the old village of Béconne provide a short walk through the woods and fields of lavender and lead you on an enjoyable route among the vestiges of the past and let you indulge your imagination.
Charroux fountain at the start of La Chèvre in Taulignan
This route is mostly shaded, in the Bois de Taulignan and along the Berre, avoiding tracks and favouring footpaths. Recommended in hot weather and especially when the lavender is in bloom, as the plateau is covered with it. Some of the route is marked with old yellow signs (PR®): plastic stapled to tree trunks or yellow paint. However, a GPS is strongly recommended to follow the route, especially between points (4) and (7) as there are many paths in the undergrowth and not all of them are marked on the IGN map. It may be preferable to follow the guidance on the OSM map for this section.
Aleyrac Abbey

This loop leads to the moving ruins of the former Aleyrac Abbey. Along the way, you will enjoy views of the Grignan plain and the valley.
Priory and ochre

This walk takes you to the Saint-Blaise priory and the ruins of La Viale, as well as through ravines carved out of ochre veins.
Undergrowth - Dieulefit-Bourdeaux area

Comps Church and Col de la Pousterle

A lovely walk along the hills of the Dieulefit region.
From Poët-Laval to Les Vitrouillères in the Pays de Dieulefit

A very pleasant, varied loop with no particular difficulties. From woodland to meadows, it will take you to the remarkable site of Les Vitrouillères, where the potters of Dieulefit extracted clay until 1964. At the end of the route, the old village of Le Poët-Laval, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France, is of course a must-see.
Above Le Poët-Laval

Hike starting from Poët-Laval, offering sweeping views of the Vercors, the Rhône Valley and northern Vaucluse.
Around Paulhiet

This easy little loop allows you to discover the charming hamlet of Paulhiet. The route, with gentle slopes (both uphill and downhill), mainly follows wide paths and a few small, quiet roads. The route is mostly shaded, winding its way through woodland and hills. It is best to do this walk when the lavender is in bloom, as there are many lavender fields around Paulhiet.

The Tour du Courbiou from Venterol

A walk that takes us over small mountains through pine trees, oak trees, vineyards and lavender fields. A condensed version of the Drôme Provençale starting from the medieval fortified village of Venterol with its characteristic wrought iron bell tower.
A hike to be enjoyed in spring, autumn and winter, but not recommended in summer due to the heat.
