Colorful treasure in bloom and bead stripped out of season
"This short combination of paths between fields of lavandins, oak woods, dry lawns and juniper heaths, offers a beautiful multicoloured overview of the plateau Claparèdes. In the purple of early summer, the tones of autumn burn ... It is also an opportunity to appreciate the use of fieldstone for millennia and the construction of a large number of dry stone walls and bories. "Sophie Bourlon, responsible of studies Natura 2000 to the Luberon RNP.

To note
- To enjoy the lilac hues of the flowering lavandin (late June), it’s best to set off early in the morning and make sure you take plenty of water and a hat. Our summers can be hot and dry.
- Autumn, with its shimmering colours, is also an exceptional time of year to explore this walk.
- During the hunting season (September to February), wear brightly coloured clothing, pay attention to the signage put up during big game drives and, if in doubt, ask the hunters in the area for further information.
If you want to report a problem on your hike (marking, maintenance, danger...), let us know on Suricate: sentinels.sportsdenature.fr
