Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban walks

A short climb takes you to Les Grads and on to the ridges, followed by a gentle descent with views of the Saint-Julien chapel.

This route offers you the chance to take a short tour of the village of Rompon and enjoy some lovely panoramic views.

If you’re not keen on small tarmac roads, this walk won’t be for you. However, these relatively quiet stretches of road in no way detract from the beautiful views from the ridges.

This is a very pleasant walk that quickly takes you to the Grads plateau, which overlooks Pouzin and the confluence of the Ouvèze and Rhône rivers. The path overlooking the Ouvèze valley is very pleasant but may be vertiginous for some. The ridges offer a beautiful panoramic view of the Baronnies and the Vercors. Never stray from the route, which is now very well marked.

This walk offers breathtaking views of the Rhône and Drôme rivers and the villages of Pouzin, Baix, Meysse and Rochemaure. There are lovely views of the Trois Becs as well as the Crest keep, the tallest in France.

Discover the ruins of the Couvent des Chèvres overlooking the Rhône valley and then the hamlet of Vieux Rompon. The return trail is a pleasant walk along the cliffs above the Ouvèze with magnificent views.

Please note: moderator's note on 20 April 2024. - From (4), access to the ridge (5) is blocked. - On the return journey from (2), take the same route in reverse to reach (1). The alternative route is blocked. Note dated 05/05/24 The route has been modified. Depart from the cemetery car park to continue the route. Return along the same route as on the way there, as the path is now blocked. I hope to return in the summer of 2024 to improve this old route. Thank you for your feedback, and please be friendly to anyone you meet on the trail.
