메타미스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The descent from the Col to Méthamis is super beautiful 🤩

Good parking near St. Hubert. A few meters south, numerous hiking trails intersect.

Pleasant climb, surface mostly good, the holes are visible uphill but early enough and you usually don't go that fast ,-)

Magnificent view of the Ventoux and the village of Méthanis

very nice site

The village is located at an altitude of 380 m. The village church dates back to the 13th century.

It was especially interesting hiking along the "Mur de la Peste" ("Plague Wall") in the tail-end of Covid. It was built to stop people coming into the Papal enclave around Avignon during an outbreak of the bubonic plague. My picture shows the remains of one of the sentry posts. Ironically, it didn't work. The plague arrived in Avignon about the same time it was dying down in the rest of Provence. The wall remained in operation, but this time with different soldiers trying to stop people moving in the opposite direction!

These structures were built in various sizes - from a simple shelter for a shepherd to "bories" with several rooms (e.g. Village de Bories in Gordes).
