Quite difficult

  • Among olive trees and scrubland, a loop with exceptional landscapes, around a rich built and amazing heritage!

  • Discover the olive crops classified as AOC, the many irrigation canals, stone built houses, a cave house ... the route passes under the rocky outcrop of Baux which looks like a boat prow close up and from far, it remains a stunning view. The scrubland reveals a quite unusual scenery of Provence, with its "baou trouca" pierced rocks. The trail ends by crossing the old Maussane and passing through the village center.
