생 레제 뒤 방투‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Get off your bike and walk to the ocres and hoodoos.

Very welcome after the first climb, unfortunately only open during the season.

beautiful challenging route through the river between the rocks

Located between Vaucluse and Drôme with incredible views of the Baronnies and Mont Ventoux.

I became aware of this gorge through the tips here. We first walked along the mountain from the bridge and then got in at the back parking lot, so to speak, downstream. The river hike experience is a glorious one. It took us a good 2 hours to get back to the bridge...a special kind of pub tour 😆. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The giant of Provence is incredibly full of character

Here's the starting point for a river hike, which varies considerably in difficulty depending on the direction – upstream or downstream. We're choosing the easier route, upstream. The hike is truly an adventure. Often the water is shallow, allowing for easy progress, but sometimes you have to wade through deeper sections. There are also some short climbs involved when the river becomes too shallow to wade through, requiring you to scramble over boulders or climb up the current. It's advisable to wear water shoes or sturdy trekking sandals; walking barefoot through the river can be quite painful for sensitive feet. It can also be painful for less sensitive feet, as the rocks in the riverbed are jagged and sharp. But by then, you're already well into the hike and no longer at the starting point, which is what this is all about… Nevertheless, it's highly recommended – incredibly fun! However, a word of caution: after heavy rain or in unsettled weather, the hike should not be undertaken, as the rapidly rising water level is a significant risk. Warning signs provide further information. So always keep an eye on the weather forecast. (We were traveling in September, and there were quite a few severe thunderstorms with heavy rainfall.)

The most famous side to climb this mountain. Very heavy, especially the passage through the woods. Great view from the top.
