A special hike that I would not have expected. You walk through the dried-up riverbed of the Nesque and admire the steep rock faces to the right and left of you.

Hiking

A beautiful and easy-to-walk section through the Nesque Gorge, following the streambed, but not a particularly long one. One advantage is that this section is very easy to reach from Venasque – if you want, you can even drive a little closer.
