A hike without difficulties between Luberon and Concors, along the canal.
Situated in the Durance valley, to the north of the Grand Site Sainte Victoire (of which it is a part), the commune of Peyrolles-en-Provence will reveal to you, in the course of this pedestrian itinerary, all its patrimonial and environmental wealth. First, in the village, you will discover the Château du roi René, the Grotte aux Palmiers (a unique vestige in Europe), the Chapelle St Sépulcre... Then, the itinerary (mainly composed of paths or forest tracks with no particular difficulties) goes through the pine forest and leads to some open areas, allowing you to enjoy clear views of: the Durance valley, the village, the Luberon, the Concors woods and its watchtower, the Mirabeau gorge. Finally, the walk follows the canals to the chapel of Notre Dame d'Astors, the primitive cradle of Peyrolles, which has the remains of wall frescoes.
