Dentelles De Montmirail​

​
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

​
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
