Volx walks

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.

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.

A peaceful walk around three pretty little hills overlooking the Durance valley. Go via the western side, which is more agricultural, with vineyards and olive groves, and return via the eastern side, following the shaded irrigation canal.

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

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.

A superb short hike with a wide variety of flora and fauna. Numerous signs of red foxes.

A very easy walk to prepare for longer hikes. Very pretty view of the Volx rock.

A circular route north of Manosque passing through Bori du Pain de Sucre, Mont des Espels, Cols de la Mort d'Imbert and Cols de Pétavigne.

A peaceful, easy walk with a unique view of Manosque. A path worth discovering!

The Tour du Mont d'Or is the remains of an ancient watchtower. It is located on a hill surrounded by olive groves and can be seen from far away when you arrive in Manosque.

This easy circular walk is used by hikers from Manosque after a rainy day to avoid the mud. The destination is the Chapelle Toutes Aures chapel, nestled in a field of olive trees.

If you enjoy walking in the forest, this hike is for you. You will encounter several species of pine trees, oaks and other service trees. Much of this hike is in the shade, so you can enjoy this circular route in summer when the sun starts to heat up.

This is a hike that can be done with children. On the way there, you will have beautiful views of pretty villages such as Lincel and Saint-Michel-l'Observatoire. On the way back, the views of the snow-capped Alps are superb. The beautiful village of Saint-Martin-les-Eaux is also worth seeing, with its church and nativity scenes in December and January. Enjoy your walk! Moderator's warning on 06/02/2021: Please note There are maintenanceissues on the trails at the start of the route. See reviews.

A short walk best done on a summer evening, not at all strenuous, doable in sandals, but with incredible charm. After passing through a forest of pine and oak trees with views of the Durance valley and the eastern Luberon, you will come to a path where you will get a good idea of what a perfect landscape looks like.

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.

Discover the Via Domitia, the drystone shelters, the Roman bridge, the Roman ford at Reculon, the hamlet of Les Craux, the village of Lincel and return via the astronomical observatory.

A peaceful hike on the Valensole plateau via the Ravin de la Combe. You can admire the magnificent lavender fields in season and pass by beehives, which you should leave alone, of course (if they have not been moved in the meantime). The hike is not complicated and is accessible to all, but please take into account the comments mentioned in the Practical Information section.

In the woods of the hills of Lurs and Ganagobie with beautiful views of the Alps, the Durance and the Montagne de Lure.

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.
