Saint-Martin-de-Brômes walks

This walk near Gréoux-les-Bains allows you to discover a tributary of the Verdon, the Colostre, a charming little river that flows all year round in a small, fairly steep-sided valley. Also on the programme are an oppidum and the magnificent village of Saint-Martin-de-Brômes.

A circular eight-shaped loop starting from the village of Esparron-de-Verdon. A round trip takes you to the pretty site of the "Salle à Manger" in the lower Gorges du Verdon (access to water possible). After starting on a small road, the route alternates between rocky paths and wide tracks. There are some lovely views of the lake and glimpses of the plateaus of Provence and its lavender fields.

On this hike you will be rewarded with beautiful views into the village of Esparron-de-Verdon and across to the hills of the Verdon Canyon. Enjoy the flowers, butterflies and olive trees as well as an optional visit to see the village chateau and church.

A hike between Gréoux-les-Bains and Saint-Martin-de-Brômes, starting in the mountains, continuing through the Colostre valley and returning via a small path along the Verdon.

Above the lake of Esparron-de-Verdon.

A family hike partly along the edge of Lake Esparron with many opportunities for swimming and picnicking. The second part of the hike is mostly in the woods with views of Lake Esparron. This hike is generally very shaded.

An easy walk that will take you from the banks of the Verdon to the heights overlooking Gréoux-les-Bains

The Valensole plateau enjoys exceptional light and unique colours that shine particularly brightly in summer: fields of lavender, clary sage, wheat, olive trees and sunflowers against a backdrop of blue mountains attract many photographers. Moderator's note: route modified on 21/06/2023 at points 4 to 6 to avoid Monroc, which is private property and off-limits despite thePR® sign.

Located on a hilltop at an altitude of 580 metres, overlooking the plain, the historic old village of Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier offers a superb panorama of the Durance valley, the Verdon mountains, the Montagne de Lure and, on a clear day, Mont Ventoux.

A beautiful and varied walk through the countryside, culminating in the medieval village of Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier (with its chapels, mills, church and 360° panorama of Provence).

Wonderful hike through the Lower Verdon Gorges, starting in Quinson.

A walk around Quinson, to be done before or after a visit to the Prehistory Museum.

The territory of Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon stretches from the banks of the river to the Valensole plateau. What a beautiful setting for a walk between the blue of the lavender and the blue of the lakes created by the construction of the Quinson dam. And if the sky is at its best, what a symphony of blues!

A splendid hike starting from the Château de Saint-Laurent-Du-Verdon, which is private property. Do not enter the château grounds. You will walk along forest paths, skirting part of the Verdon Gorge and part of Lake Artignosc, as well as magnificent green meadows and fields of lavender in bloom from mid-June to mid-July. This is an easy hike, ideal for beginners and occasional walkers

A very pleasant route starting from Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon with views of the Verdon.

Explore the turquoise waters of the lower Verdon Gorge by canoe, kayak or electric boat.

Discover the Baudinard Gorges and the unique colour of the Verdon with its many caves. You will climb to higher ground and enjoy numerous panoramic views: the most beautiful in the Var with its lakes, mountains, forests and dams.

A pretty walk off the beaten path. The views are breathtaking in diverse landscapes, all from the beautiful little hilltop village of Artignosc-sur-Verdon.

The village of Volx is known throughout Europe for its climbing guide, which has recently been redesigned and made safer. At the start of the hike, you will see the climbing walls on your right. At the end of the Capellane climb (it's steep), you will be rewarded with a beautiful view overlooking the village. Then you will have a superb view of the Durance valley on your left.

Two magnificent viewpoints over the Gorges du Verdon (downstream from Lac de Sainte-Marie).

A loop which poses no problems so can be undertaken with children to discover a dovecote which is still in a good state.

This loop goes around a rock (La Roche Amère), which will be visible for much of the hike. A quarter of the way round, I suggest a detour to the Chapelle de la Roche. If you wish, continue past the chapel (not marked on the map) and follow the path that leads to the top of the rock (ruin), where you will have a beautiful view of the Durance valley.

This is a family hike that can be done with children. On your left, you will have a permanent view of the Luberon, with Mont Ventoux as the focal point. Then you will see the Montagne de Lure. On the way back from the circular, you can also admire the peaks of the Alps.
