Atlas cedars, introduced to the south of France in 1860, spread naturally, forming cedar groves in the Ventoux and Petit Luberon massifs. Their light and aromatic wood is sought after in cabinetmaking. In 1989, a fire destroyed 338 hectares of forest in Cabrières-d'Avignon, but the cedars mostly resisted. Some, still scarred by fire, were replanted in 1991.

From Lagnes drive the D100 in direction Cabrières d’Avignon and park at the Parking near Le Chat. From there follow the yellow hiking signs either in direction of Mur de la Peste and or la Peithe. The tour around la Peithe along the les Esperacdes is spectacular.
