Vaucluse - Provence Tips: By high speed train we arrived in early
afternoon at Avignon. At the back of the train station you’ll find a bus to
the heart of the Vaucluse. We started in Cereste. Here you can buy good
walking maps. Well marked walk-ways, such as parts of the local GR’s ( the
Grande Randonnée). Accommodation:
Plenty: hotels, pensions, Gites d’étappe, chambre d’hôtes , Gites ruraux,
at the farm, at a castle, whatever you want. Maps:
Didier Richard, nrs. 14 and 27, 1 cm. = 500m, Ventoux and Luberon,
Sainte-Victoire. March
2000: an (almost) round walk in a hilly landscape, nice valleys, gorges (
canyons) and vineyards. Height: highest point 700m. |
