Walking Tours in france
Landscapes of the Luberon Walk
* Easy walking through timeless Luberon landscape: lavender, cypress woods, cherry orchards, olive groves New! HIKE and BIKE option. For those wanting to have bikes available for all "rest days" these can be pre-booked for an additional $120 per adult/$80 per child per week and will be waiting for you at each hotel. You'll be intoxicated by the rich colors of the landscape, all intensified by the wonderful limpid light. Seventeen shades of ochre were quarried at Roussillon, from violet through purple to vivid reds, oranges and mellow yellows. Its delicate natural tints were used to wash the local houses. At Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the emerald-green Sorgue river gushes in torrents from a mysterious subterranean reservoir. Lavender makes a fragrant mauve carpet, green forests cloak the hills and in spring, white blossom veils the cherry orchards. And it's all against the backdrop of an azure sky. The walks are short, with plenty of time for exploring exquisite villages, natural wonders and historic sights. Three of the four hotels have pools in the grounds and the other has a public pool just 50m away. You'll enjoy typical Provencal hospitality and cuisine at them all.
* Dazzling ochre cliffs; stunningly beautiful perched villages; wonderful views of Mt Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail
* Wonderful regional cuisine and fine local wines
* Hotels full of Provençal character – most with pools
This easy walking holiday is based in the glorious Luberon National Park, starting and finishing in the lush countryside of the Sorgue river. It’s a land which has been an inspiration for generations of poets, painters and writers from Petrarch in the 14C to contemporary abstract artist Victor Vasarély, and best- selling author Peter Mayle.
