Off-the-beaten track guided hikes in Provence

The following is a short description of a gorgeous trail you can walk while enjoying perfect calm even during the peak seasons thanks to your local guide. It is a plus in a region as visited as Provence!

Take a break from the crowds with this joyful walk to a refreshing spot: Saut du Moine. This is a waterfall at the confluence of the Calavon river, still a small stream, and one of its tributaries. There, the Calavon flows in a north-south direction. But about 15km downstream from Saut du Moine, when it meets the foothills of the Luberon mountains, the river changes course, running east-west.
On your way to the waterfall, you reach several pretty drystone guesthouses, set in a glen. In this place, a small Cistercian abbey nestled in the Middle Ages.
This pleasant walk is suitable for everybody as it is neither long nor difficult.

Whether you wish to walk 2 or 3hrs, you can choose an out-and-back or a circular trail. You can take this moderate hike all year round.
