Description
After spending the night in Vaucluse, you can take a short detour through unspoiled countryside to the Romanesque chapel of Saint-Cyrice (12th century), the remnant of a former priory.
Next, pass through Orpierre, formerly known as “Val Perreus,” a town in the Baronnies region and a stronghold of the Princes of Orange. Two eco-museums can be visited along the way: “Viticulture of Yesteryear” and “Café of Yesteryear.” The route passes near the ridges of Chabre and Sainte-Colombe.
This stage finally leads to Lagrand, a village perched on an ancient Gallic oppidum (medieval priory; 12th-century church).

Recommandations
CAUTION - This route passes through mountain pastures where animals graze. Shepherd dogs and livestock guardian dogs, such as Patous, often guard sheep, ewes, and other livestock.
It is recommended that you do not walk through a herd but instead give it a wide berth. When encountering a guard dog, do not make any sudden movements, do not look it in the eyes (like any dog, it may perceive a fixed gaze as aggression), stop until it has identified you, remain calm and passive, do not threaten it, and do not pet it.

Lake and riverThe Ceans
