Dentelles De Montmirail
Two treks possible: Duration: 6-7 hours, 14 kms or 3-4 hours, 7km
Difficulty: Both are challenging: 7/10
Between the earth and the sky…Some places remind us of the full majesty of nature. On the cliffedge of the Dentelles de Montmirail perspective can be gained of our place in time and space
This is a stunning walk. At the start the path launches straight up the mountain, through winding forest trails bringing you to the foothills of the imposing Dentelles
The path then hugs the cliff edge, a head for heights will help here. Hands as well as feet are often needed over the next hour of the hike
Once the Dentelles have been traversed the hike continues on the other side of the rocks, the light changes, the feet are weary but vigilance is still needed, loose stones can make the footing precarious
Frequent breaks to catch your breath will provide you with pauses to marvel over the stunning panoramic views

Gorge Du Badarel
Duration: 3-4 hours, 7 kms
Difficulty medium: 6/10
A stunning hike, with short and steep ascent in a wild gorge, filled with the herbs of Provence, thyme, rosemary and majoram, surrounded by delicate butterflies in the warmer months
As the valley opens up panoramic views over the valley of Cavaillon and Mont Ventoux bring delight. As the path hugs the rocky crags of the cliff, the perspective changes with the frequency of the foliage. The dramatic and steep descent requires the sure footing of a mountain goat

From the elaborate Greco-Roman remains of Glanum we will wind our way upwards towards the rocks of the Alpilles. Time and the mistral have carved holes in the white cliffs affording views over the Valley of Avignon all the way to Mont Ventoux

We picnic at the abandoned castle high above the village of Fontaine de Vaucluse
The village of Fontaine De Vaucluse is often busy but steeped in poetic medieval history and the source of the river is worth a peak

We weave along the river valley that follows the valley back towards Gordes before rising to follow a path lined by bories, drystone structures that were used as shelters by shepherds
A stunning hike in the heart of the Luberon
