マルモールの天然記念物・トップ16

A superb vantage point with views all the way to the Mediterranean. Easily accessible from the parking lot. The further path along the ridge requires more skill.

Superb viewpoint over the southern slope of the Petit Luberon and the vast Durance plain.

The landscape is fantastic, but unfortunately there is far too much traffic on the D943 to enjoy it

The Combe de Lourmarin is a winding gorge between Apt and Lourmarin. From Apt it's a really nice descent to do. From Lourmarin, the climb is about 10km with an average gradient of 4%.

beautiful route, relatively much traffic but absolutely worthwhile

Here you benefit from both a beautiful viewpoint and also have the possibility of taking the path of the century-old cedar forest. This forest has only existed since 1860. The trees are, however, very imposing and there is a peace here that is only found in certain forests. It is a well-hidden but essential site for nature lovers in the Luberon.

If you choose the straight path from the parking lot to the south (red marking), you will reach the vantage point with a view of the Durance valley and the Etangs of southwestern Provence with practically no difference in height.

From the parking place you will see 4 recommended tours thru the forest. All four are nice, easy to do, and different. They are marked with blue, red, yellow, or green markers. The blue tour is for handicapped people and is suitable for wheelchair access. The other three could conceivably be made with good sports shoes, but I would recommend hiking boots to protect your feet. With the green tour you will see the most cedar trees, the yellow and red tours pass by a point where there is a wonderful view over the Durance looking south.
