ルトールの洞窟・トップ7

It's just a short walk up to the castle. Even though the path is steep and partly rocky, it's well worth it! From the ruins, you have fantastic views down to the town, the river, and the entire surrounding area. Be careful when climbing on the walls; it's extremely steep down!

To climb to the Château de Thouzon, mountain bike path, 57 m, lots of stones, the other side seems, so to speak, a little easier to climb, but above all, go back down that way

Difficult to access (by mountain bike for me), the ruins of this ancient fortified monastery are well worth it. I love these preserved but unrestored places; the imagination works, and the few explanations provided are enough to understand. The magnificent surrounding landscape justifies the monks' choice.

The climb and descent to and from the castle is seriously tough but once at the top the view is breathtaking.

The village of Beaucet is a charming place. Perched on a rocky promontory, you enjoy beautiful views of the Vaucluse mountains. As you wander through the charming little streets, you will discover the ruins of its old fortified castle.

Coming from Venasque you arrive at the bottom of this small village. It is worthwhile to walk around here, visit the castle if necessary and have a drink in the only bistro.

The ruins of the 13th century castle perch high above the village. From the ruins you will have an exceptional panoramic view of the town, the spring and the surrounding area. The climb towards the ruins start in the village and the first part is easy accessible by foot. The last past however is very steep, rocky and sometimes even tricky with lots of loose stones and even a wiggly ladder. Not the easiest climb especially for kids (< 8yrs) and elderly people.

The Château de Saumane is one of the three places in Vaucluse where the Marquis de Sade lived.
