Beautiful hike away from the crowds of visitors. Quite a bit of shade.
The fields on the plateau are hay or lavender. To finish or begin, you can stroll towards the fairy chimneys or the Sahara. Stunning!

The Colorado de Provence is very beautiful, but small. We walked 10 km through the forests and the last 500 m along the red rocks.
