Description of the walk

Park in the car park in the centre of the village of Rochebrune. Be careful with the starting route! The IGN map is not up to date, the route has changed, so follow the route as indicated here.

(S/E) Go up Rue André Raillard.

(1) Turn right onto Chemin de Pierre Feu, cross the bridge over the stream and go up to the right until you reach a narrow path on the left.

(2) Leave the forest road and take the narrow path opposite in the bend. Continue up this path and then, on the descent, rejoin the old route.

(3) Turn left and you will arrive at the bottom of the valley.

(4) Ford the pretty little Rieufrais stream over large stones and continue climbing to the wind turbine at Col de Sérriès. Cross the road junction and a few dozen metres further on, you will find a path on the left.

(5) Descend and follow this shaded path until you reach the Chemin du Villard forest road.

(6) Turn left onto this road, pass by and admire the majestic Rocher Florin and then the farm of the same name. Continue to the Col des Lantons.

(7) Continue straight on the forest road until you reach the Lantons crossroads.

(8) Take the small tarmac road to the left of the Lantons crossroads and follow it to Col de la Croix.

(9) Leave the road and take the path on the left. Descend to the Combebelle stream.

(10) Just before the stream, take the wooded path on the left and continue until you reach the start of the forest path you took on the way there.

(2) Take the sharp right turn and, following the route in reverse, return to the car park at the start in the centre of Rochebrune (S/E).

The route is not difficult, trainers are sufficient.

Hike completed in September 2023 and repeated on 3 April 2026; thoroughly enjoyed it – very pleasant and easy to follow thanks to the markings on the trees. Beautiful views of the village of Rochebrune, Angèle and other peaks, not to mention Mont Ventoux. A pleasant walk with some shaded sections. Easy hike

Very easy and pleasant hike. At point 7, the path leads to a ploughed field, which you must go around on the right.

I did this lovely walk on a Saturday morning, setting off from my camper van just before the entrance to the village of Rochebrune (1.9 km away).
As I didn't see the sign at the start, I did the circular route in reverse, but I found this perfect as I ended up starting with the less interesting part (road and wide tracks) and finishing on a high with small paths offering beautiful views.
Thank you to the author for mapping out this lovely route, which I can only recommend.

Much of the route is on tracks or even paved roads, which makes it somewhat less interesting. The first part, up to the pass, is the most interesting, with a passage through ancient terraces and beautiful views of the village.

The change to the route at the start of the trail is due to the fact that new owners refused to allow passage on their property, even though it was a heritage trail that had been used for centuries. The right of way should therefore have been exercised, but this was apparently not possible. The detour takes a hastily made and very inconvenient path, bypassing the property in question. How disappointing!

The village (a single street) and the beautifully restored church of Rochebrune are well worth a visit.
