Saumane walks

A beautiful, easy hike starting from the charming village of Saumane, with beautiful sheepfolds in very good condition and magnificent landscapes. Bring something to drink on sunny days as much of the route is in direct sunlight.

A country walk between the villages of Ongles and Lardiers. A bucolic and peaceful route in the spirit of Jean Giono, surrounded by fields, farms, lavender and oak forests.

This is a short hike along the ridge of Lure Mountain, with guaranteed 360° panoramic views, to Cairn 2000, which commemorates the transition tothe third millennium. Even though this is a round trip, the advantage of a ridge is that the landscape is completely different on each side

A pleasant hike along paths that wind through the foothills of the Lure mountain, allowing you to discover jas restored by volunteers from the commune of Cruis in sublime locations. Follow the yellow and red markings at first, then only the yellow markings.

The small village of Limans is known for its six dovecotes.

Located north of Focalquier, the Mourres rocks are a geological curiosity. The area is full of enormous mushroom-shaped rocks several metres high. The word Mourre means 'snout' in Provençal.

If you like Bories, you'll see them in the distance at the start, then up close, and you can even go inside some of them. On your way back, before you get to the village, you'll walk up a superb calade (cobbled) street, and there's a little detour to see the Château de Mane.

A beautiful loop around the Calavon Gorges from the village of Oppedette.

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.

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.

A short walk with lots to discover: the priory, of course, as well as an old millstone quarry and the oppidum known as Villevieille.

A beautiful short family hike in the Luberon Regional Nature Park. The commune of Saint-Michel-l'Observatoire is located between the Lure mountain and the Luberon massif. Lovers of old stones, Provençal nature and astronomy will be charmed by this route.

This is a lovely walk to discover the Montagne de Chabre, which offers beautiful scenery, especially along the ridge. You can see many hang-gliders heading towards Les Espranons.

Wild and difficult to access gorges, between 150 and 200m deep, very narrow in places, only a few metres wide. The descent of the Karstic Cave is very well equipped but tricky to navigate.

The ascent and descent from this peak are through forest, with the link between the two via a beautiful ridge trail.

Immerse yourself in the refreshing atmosphere of the Méouge Gorges and the forest that covers its southern slopes.Starting from the Roman bridge, this route follows the course of the river via theGRP®® Sud de Buëch-Méouge (Baronnies Provençales Regional Park), then climbs into the woods of Pierre Grosse to overlook the gorges, offering several viewpoints. Note that some people prefer to do it in the opposite direction so they can finish by cooling off in the Méouge!

A walk through gorges is always pleasant, and in those of Méouge it's a real joy.
