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.

Sometimes you just have to do it😜

very beautiful view of the Durance 🏞

The village of Mérindol is directly linked to the Vaudois movement. This movement was born from the preaching of a simple layman named Vaudès. This religious dissidence was first tolerated by the Roman Church. It was then rejected, the name "Vaudois" even becoming synonymous with sorcerer or heretic. The movement of the poor of Lyon (another name given to the Waldensians) was born around the year 1170 from a rich bourgeois from Lyon named Valdès who was keen to return to the humility of the early times of Christianity. Driven out of Lyon, the movement spread where Vaudois preachers could still preach publicly. He settled in Provence and especially in the county of Toulouse, as well as in northern Italy. It is in Mérindol that the bloody massacre of the Vaudois began in 1545. A path of memory remains from this terrible past with some vestiges of these bygone times at the height of the current village.

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.

The Petit Luberon, in the heart of which you are now moving, has magnificent limestone rock formations, as well as a forest of remarkable cedars.

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.
