In Vaucluse, a great diversity of landscapes allows for both walking and hiking... and above all, 300 days of sunshine per year for an ideal practice in spring and autumn.

Walk and breathe in the Monts de Vaucluse, the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Ventoux, the Luberon ... between vineyards, orchards, rivers, and lavender, and discover the rich heritage of our villages in Provence.

Or choose thematic hikes with our partner guides: wildlife, photos, heritage, ever or sunset ... Contact us to help you organise your stay.
