The place, by the river, where an inn can be found today, is very special, peaceful. Its imposing cliffs are world-renowned among rock climbers. And if only few people live in this hollow today, it has been occupied for at least 50,000 years. What makes this area unique is the startling contrast between the cool, humid glen and the desolate plateau above: the first one is covered with lush vegetation and temperate climate plants and trees ; conversely, the second one is carpeted with lavender fields and scrubby woods, so parched in summer. <br \/>A gem to discover !<\/p>\n<p><strong>Walking time<\/strong> : from 2 to 3 hours\u00a0<br \/><strong>Rating<\/strong> : moderate<br \/><strong>Season calendar<\/strong> : year-round (summer: morning only, not allowed on fire risk days)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-text_317\" class=\"builder-section-prev-text builder-section builder-section-text builder-section-next-text has-background builder-section-full-width builder-text-columns-2\" style=\"background-color:#f98939;background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: center center;\">\n<div class=\"builder-section-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-row\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-1\" id=\"builder-section-text_317-column-1\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6778\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/gorges_veroncle_2.jpg?resize=960%2C670&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"960\" height=\"670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/gorges_veroncle_2.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/gorges_veroncle_2.jpg?resize=300%2C209&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/gorges_veroncle_2.jpg?resize=768%2C536&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/gorges_veroncle_2.jpg?resize=1024%2C714&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-2\" id=\"builder-section-text_317-column-2\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Gorges de Veroncle, a half day trip from Gordes<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During this walk, your local guide leads you in the lowest section of a 5-mile long canyon.

The river that carved this gorge dried up several thousands of years ago. In the final part of your descent, you roam through the scenery of a spectacular canyon, ever narrower. This canyon, called the <em>Gorges de R\u00e9galon<\/em>, is very special for its luxuriant vegetation and for its narrowness, as well. In places, the walls rise 200 feet above the pathway and somewhere else, the width of the gorge is barely one meter!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Walking time<\/strong>\u00a0: 3 hours<br \/><strong>Rating<\/strong>\u00a0: moderate (stony ground)<br \/><strong>Season calendar<\/strong> : year-round (summer : not allowed on fire risk days)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-banner_346\" class=\"builder-section-prev-text builder-section builder-section-banner builder-section-next-banner\" style=\"background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: center center;\">\n<div class=\"builder-section-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-slide content-position-none\" style=\"background-image: url(&#039;https:\/\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/champs_lavandeble2.jpg&#039;);\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-inner-content\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><strong> Plateau d&rsquo;Albion <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-1605433439890\" class=\"builder-section-prev-banner builder-section builder-section-banner builder-section-next-banner\" style=\"background-repeat: repeat;background-position: center center;\">\n<div class=\"builder-section-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-slide content-position-none\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-inner-content\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/hiking-france\/contact-us\/\">CONTACT<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-1572846795915\" class=\"builder-section-prev-banner builder-section builder-section-banner builder-section-next-text\" style=\"background-repeat: repeat;background-position: center center;\">\n<div class=\"builder-section-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-slide content-position-none\" style=\"background-color:#156fbf;\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-banner-inner-content\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><br \/>Day trips through the low mountains of Luberon and hilltop villages<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-1572846818024\" class=\"builder-section-prev-banner builder-section builder-section-text builder-section-next-text has-background builder-section-full-width builder-text-columns-2\" style=\"background-color:#f98939;background-repeat: repeat;background-position: center center;\">\n<div class=\"builder-section-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-row\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-1\" id=\"builder-section-1572846818024-column-1\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16996\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mourres_2-1.jpg?resize=869%2C652&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"869\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mourres_2-1.jpg?w=869&amp;ssl=1 869w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mourres_2-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mourres_2-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mourres_2-1.jpg?resize=24%2C18&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mourres_2-1.jpg?resize=36%2C27&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.enrouteprovence.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mourres_2-1.jpg?resize=48%2C36&amp;ssl=1 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 869px) 100vw, 869px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-2\" id=\"builder-section-1572846818024-column-2\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0d0d3b;\"><strong>A singular walk <br \/>through\u00a0<\/strong><strong>the intriguing Mourres rocks<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0d0d3b;\">The<em> Mourres<\/em> limestone outcrops can be found to the north-east of the <em>Luberon<\/em>, next to the charming town of\u00a0<em>Forcalquier<\/em>.
