Secret Trails of the Luberon (self guided)

7 days - from $1395

Discover the colours and flavours of Provence and the Luberon on this wonderful week long walk With each turn in your path on this self guided adventure, the Luberon Mountains offer a new discovery; 1000 year-old perched villages rising spectacularly from the valleys below, many of which are considered the most beautiful in France; open fields laden with poppies and wildflowers; centuries’ old stone huts that offer the most intimate of picnic spots; beautiful trails far from the beaten track. Beginning in the town of Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, with its antiques and Venice-like canals, your journey will take you through the mysterious springs of Fontaine de Vaucluse, famed villages such as Gordes and Bonnieux with some of France’s most beautiful walking paths linking it all together.
