Saint-Auban-sur-l'Ouvèze walks

This is the first stage of a three-day circuit on the ridges of the Méouge and Ouvèze rivers. Between heaven and earth, this is an exceptional route, mostly along ridges. Throughout the day, there are fantastic views of the Ouvèze valley, the Provençal peaks such as Lure and Ventoux, and then the Southern Alps. This is a wild route, far from everything, ending in the equally wild micro-village of Izon-la-Bruisse.

This itinerary between the valleys of the Méouge and Ouvèze allows you to take the pulse of the Parc Naturel Régional des Baronnies Provençales. Little travelled and regularly on balconies and ridges, the route alternates between lavender fields and rocky slopes, Scots pine forests and sublime beech woods, pastoral paths and ridges with exceptional panoramic views. In addition to its particularly wild character, the few small villages it passes through are particularly picturesque, and the route allows you to explore the sublime Montagne de Chamouse from every angle.

A beautiful walk through vineyards, lavender fields and olive groves, as well as forests. Glimpses of stone lacework and a pretty chapel. A Mediterranean landscape with hilltop villages stretching as far as the eye can see.

It is an exceptional route, mostly along ridges with magnificent views of Ventoux, Montagne de Lure, the Méouge and Ouvèze valleys, and the peaks of Baronnies: Buc, Bergiès, Chamouze, Vanige, Clavelière. The hike takes you on a journey of discovery through the region's historical heritage and passes by the site of the former Fort de Mévouillon. Considered a threat by the king, the fort was razed to the ground in 1684. Several buildings (houses, churches) were built using stones from the old fort. The route is fairly wild and little frequented.

Beautiful view of the Ennuye Valley.

This is a very beautiful, uncrowded walk offering remarkable landscapes for most of the route.

A pleasant walk above Buis-les-Baronnies, along the foot of Roche Saint-Julien

From Buis-les-Baronnies, walk around the Rocher Saint-Julien enjoying the views of the Baronnies and Mont Ventoux.

From the Col d'Ey, hike through the Ennuye valley, which offers beautiful views of the village of Sainte-Jalle, and return via the Montlaud hillside.

This is the third and final stage of a three-day tour of the Méouge and Ouvèze ridges. You first pass through the western face of the Montagne de Chamouse, with its magnificent beech forests, before reaching the remarkable Col de Perty. Then, you'll follow the ridge for several kilometres via the summit of Arsuc and Serre de Charbouisse, enjoying breathtaking views of the Alps and the Ouvèze valley. The last third of the day allows you to explore the hamlets of the valley, in a pretty rural setting.

This is the second stage of a three-day circuit on the crests of the Méouge and Ouvèze rivers. Starting and ending in Izon-la-Bruisse, the route passes through the two pretty villages of Eygalayes and Ballons before reaching the Crête de Chabre for a splendid view of the Dévoluy, the Écrins and the Ventoux.

Short hike in the upper Ennuye valley between Arpavon and Le Poët-Sigillat.

Both Mediterranean and Alpine, this contrasting hike reflects the diverse nature of the region. It includes some tricky sections, but the summit and ridges offer magnificent views. The feeling you get and the beauty of the landscapes are well worth the effort.

The great cliff of Rocher du Caire rises above Rémuzat. Look up and you'll see griffon vultures flying over the valley. Please note that a hiker has informed us that a municipal by-law (posted at the top) prohibits hiking in the opposite direction.

The route along the ridge overlooking Rémuzat and the cliffs at the summit of Le Caire are home to majestic griffon vultures.

A beautiful round trip leading to the summit and back along the crests.

From Chalet Reynard, climb up to Pas de la Frache and descend via a wild path on the north face to reach Tête de la Grave.

South and north of Mont Ventoux: different landscapes between the summit teeming with cyclists and motorcyclists, a desert of stone and undergrowth with an intoxicating calm.

This hike allows you to visit a pretty village and the remains of one of the oldest abbeys in Gaul, as well as enjoy the landscapes of the Drôme. With a bit of luck, the vultures of Rocher du Caire will accompany you along the way.

A beautiful loop around the summit starting from the Mont Serein station, suitable for all seasons. (Be sure to bring the right equipment if you're hiking in the snow: snowshoes or crampons) After skirting around the giant via a track, a beautiful climb up the south face awaits you, between forests and scree. Once at the summit, descend the north slope via theGR®4to finish with the Henry Fabre loop. This hike allows you to discover the different facets of Ventoux in a single outing.

This is an easy hike through beautiful forest landscapes and splendid trees. It is followed by a steep climb to join the GR® trail and go around the summit. The descent is pleasant, through scree slopes, with splendid views. Although difficult, this hike allows you to explore the "giant of Provence" with its varied landscapes depending on the season.

While the southern slope of Mont Ventoux and the ridge trail are well known, the northern slope is less frequented but just as beautiful, with its alternating forests, scree slopes and avalanche couloirs. With a bit of luck, you may even spot some chamois.

A magnificent hike to enjoy in all seasons, accompanied by the sound of the Léoux waterfalls, the flight of vultures and impressive landscapes. A pleasant climb on a stony path along the Léoux to reach the ridge, then a breathtaking panorama on the way back. Take your time, open your eyes, look for the vultures in flight and admire the landscape of these mountains sculpted by time.

This hike follows the beautiful Léoux stream. Littered with natural pools, it offers beautiful places to cool off. The slopes quickly converge to form beautiful rocky gorges. You then leave the gorges on the western slope via a fairly steep stony path. The return journey is along a track offering beautiful views of the gorges and surrounding mountains. Then a path and a section of road take you back to the beautiful village of Saint-May.
