Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Provence
The walking paths through Provence's Luberon region connect charming medieval villages like St-Saturnin and Gordes, taking you past vineyards, cherry orchards and also olive groves. Our travelers particularly enjoy the routes combining Roussillon's ochre cliffs with overnight stays in authentic village hotels. The trails weave through pine forests that smell wonderfully of resin before opening up to wide valley panoramas. Around Les Baux, you can mix your walking with some cultural exploration - the paths lead past ancient castle ruins, and you can take a break to visit Van Gogh's monastery at St Paul de Mausole. If you're after something more demanding, head to the Alpilles where proper hiking trails include some scrambling sections. The effort pays off with excellent 360-degree views across the Provençal landscape.
