Tavel walks

Discover the Tavel vineyards and the architectural heritage of its village.

This is a short, pleasant and fairly shaded walk. You will, however, need to take a few small paths and descend a few metres via a ‘short climb down’. A view of the Rhône Valley will be visible along the way on clear days.

A family walk alternating between vineyard paths and woodland around the Sainte-Baume Chapel.

An easy walk, offering the chance to discover a magnificent hermitage with a beautiful view of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Mont Ventoux. You can also take two short climbs to explore two magnificent caves and learn about the region’s history. The return route follows a path that partly overlooks the renowned vineyards of Lirac. The ‘Montagne’, as it is known here, offers a variety of landscapes ranging from heathland to woodland.

This easy little walk will give you a better understanding of how Pujaut, clinging to the hillside, was once a fishing village that drew its food from the pond to the south of the village, where the current airfield is located.

Discovering Rochefort-du-Gard and its religious heritage, then diving into the green oak trees, which make up a large part of the surrounding vegetation, for some solitude.

Set off easily to explore nature from the centre of Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres. The view of Mont Ventoux will accompany you throughout this hike, which presents no technical difficulty but will still require a pair of trainers and the ability to walk 13 km. Although there are several shaded sections, bring a hat and 1 litre of water per person if the temperature exceeds 25°C. The route will surprise you with the diversity of its landscapes and vegetation. After a stroll through the heath, the path continues through Lirac, then climbs through the vineyards before descending through a pine forest with sandy ground.

Why not discover our beautiful terroir, nestled between vineyards and heath? This is what the private Aiguilhon wine estate offers you, thanks to the footpaths that surround it. Stroll among the estate's vines, discover the biodiversity and nature that surround you, as well as an incredible view. Accessible to most people, with very little elevation gain, you should still wear good shoes to cope with the many pebbles and stones on the path.

Explore the Montagne des Chèvres with its beautiful views over the Rhône valley. Explore the Rochers de Carnas and the Saint-Vérédème Chapel. Views over the plain of the Étang de Pujaut and the village rooftops.

A short, relatively flat, very accessible walk near Avignon. Expect a few sections over uneven terrain, such as stream beds, narrow (single-track) paths with dense vegetation, cliff-edge paths, and sloping rocky ground which can be slippery when wet. The route remains very accessible, however, with lovely views. Suitable for families with children, provided they are not prone to vertigo, or plan to avoid the two detours along the banks of the Rhône before reaching the castle.

Short walk with successive changes in elevation. Views of the village of Pujaut, the Avignon lock, Fort Saint-André and the Philipe Le Bel Tower.

A short, easy circular route to explore this small farming village of 650 inhabitants and enjoy beautiful views of the vineyards and surrounding countryside. The route also offers a glimpse of the terroirs of the Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Signargues appellation, situated in an ancient riverbed of the Rhône. On fine days, the sweet scent of broom may surprise you as you round a bend, as might the Alpilles range in the distance and the Rhône glistening in the sun.

An easy and pleasant hike through the orchards of the Grande Bastide, the small hamlet of Four and a breathtaking view of the Palais des Papes, Avignon and Fort Saint-André.

Discover part of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and its heritage, as well as its canal and the banks of the Rhône.

A foray into the heart of the wild Grand Combe, then the heath of the Gard. On this route, there are no breathtaking views or heritage sites, just nature in its simplest form.
