Very pleasant walk, the archaeological site of Montpaon is a very beautiful discovery - the walk is varied, ascent, descent, fields of olive trees and other beautiful landscapes characteristic of Provence.

After leaving the car on the side of the road (several parking spaces), a path takes you to the heights of Mont Paon. The last part is a little steep and especially stony, so wear closed shoes. In about thirty minutes, you reach the Castrum. Superb 360° view of the plain, Les Baux, Salon... The explanatory panels are simple but interesting. They allow you to better understand the organization of this place whose remains are a dream. Avoid if it's raining or windy and, of course, keep children under supervision!
