Description

Short and clever combination of the "Sentier des Aiguiers'' which offers a beautiful glimpsecrafty and remarkable water supplies.
« The traveler who crosses the Monts-de-Vaucluse does not suspect that arid hills looming on the horizon are also the land of endless valleys, silence, where one can walk for days without seeing another soul. To the one who penetrates its secrets, the country of aiguiers will reveal its own-value.; made of dry stone, scarce water and precious greenery...». FrançoisMorenas (1917 - 2006), innkeeper, itinerant filmmaker, writer and a trail clearer.
  • Tips
    Between points 1 and 4: ATTENTION PASTORAL ZONE, in the presence of protection dogs coming to meet me, I do not caress them or threaten them. I stop, then I patiently wait for the "control" to end before calmly continuing on my way, bypassing the herd as much as possible. Preferably do not bring your dog and, if not, keep it on a leash
    Before point 2: Be careful of your ankles when crossing the rocky areas (lapiaz) as you approach the Cluyer dome
    At point 4: do not enter the ruins of Travignon; private, risk of collapse!
    Respect the tranquility of the place, the ancestral heritage and the properties (some ewers and bories are private).
    Refrain from collecting mushrooms and do not enter truffle-producing areas.
    Even if the hiker always has priority, remain vigilant when approaching mountain bikers, who are very present on the local trails.
    FIRE RISK: fire is the enemy of the forest... and of the hiker! I don't smoke in the forest or light fires, especially since whatever the season, it's forbidden! And in the summer, before going for a walk, I find out about the conditions and regulations for access to forest areas.
