Aqueducts, canals, mills, fountains, and wash houses make up a built heritage that has many surprises in store for you! Follow the water to discover the geological wonders of the Orgues.
Starting from the center of the village of Volonne, let yourself be captivated by the magic of a route where French history meets untamed nature. Your adventure begins in a maze of typical Provençal alleyways. At a fountain, Napoleon's gaze stares back at you from a mural, before your steps lead you onto the Charreirasse trail. Completely restored, this path is a veritable time capsule, immersing you in the Provence of yesteryear. Cross the Grave torrent and let the coolness of the century-old trees envelop you. The highlight of the show? Crossing the 17th-century aqueduct: a masterpiece of architecture with a two-story semicircular arch overlooking the Grave torrent. Then head into the Grave ravine. A true hidden oasis, this haven of peace is home to a wealth of rare flora and fauna. It's time to disconnect: listen to the sound of the water, breathe in the local scents and admire this unspoiled sanctuary. To end this memorable loop, the trail takes you back to the foot of the two iconic towers, guardians of the village, before returning to the charm of the narrow streets.
