ヴィエンスの天然記念物・トップ20

There had been a lot of rain in the last few days. The west side of the walk is very hard in places and the path at the bottom of the metal stairs had washed away and the hand holds could not be reached. It was very dangerous as were several sections where the path is on an angle. This was for a distance of about 500 metres either side of the metal ladder. In places the path is only 30-50 cm wide with a vertical drop of 50-75 metres and certain death if you slip. Not suitable for children or people who are not experienced mountain walkers. A strong walking pole was very useful.

At the highest point of the circular trail, there are great views of the yellow towers of the "fairy chimneys" and this part of the Luberon.

The route marking of T1 is wildly misleading (!) The paths up and down the Gorge are a mix between T1, T2, T3 and sometimes just about T4. That's in fine weather. Take care of each other and help the others. There were quite a number of small kids of age 3 to 8 today. As all others write: it's a beautiful place and the descent into the Gorge gives a ton a great views. Take your time and be careful

Colorado de Provence is definitely worth a visit. Great colors.

Before the invention of synthetic dyes, it was in this industrialized zone that the ocher color was obtained. This site was closed only recently, in 1992, to be exploited for its ocher sand deposits at the end of the 17th century.

Following the uplift of the Lure mountain, it was the Calavon river that shaped these magnificent gorges. The word Calavon means stone river. The watercourse is indeed often dry, leaving only a river of stones.
