Tips

Hiking

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.

Hiking

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!
