    Hiking

    A classic of the region but it should not be missed because you have to get away from the path. It is not far (200 m) from a small fenced enclosure close to a junction of several paths!

    Developed in 1794, Chappe telegraph towers were a means of visual communication by semaphore, over distances of several hundred kilometres. The Orgon tower is one of the 22 towers that have remained intact in France. This tower was part of a chain of towers which included the sector from Avignon to Toulon and communicated directly with Cavaillon on one side and Lamanon on the other.
