Hiking Venasque

To the east of the village, the Périgrine andPetit Défend localities are classified as Sensitive Natural Areas . The loop of this ethnobotanical hike opens and closes at Vénasque. With children, we stay connected and the walk becomes a treasure hunt, from beacon to beacon, installed on stones. You'll learn all about the plants, trees and shrubs that surround you, and about the Périgrine farm you'll be walking alongside. It takes 3 hours 30 minutes to learn all about the wig tree, Aleppo pine, common juniper, Kermes oak... At the top, you'll fall in love with the breathtaking view, from the Ventoux to the Dentelles de Montmirail, with the village of Blauvac perched on the side of the Giant. Then a zigzagging path leads down to the bed of the Nesque, known as Fonds de Nesque. The Défend ravine impresses before the steep and rugged ascent to Vénasque.
