Hike #11: Le Chemin de Valbonnette

Leaders:   Tehila, Avi, Chris, Sharon, Isa, Jean-Pierre

Date:       December 14th , 2021

 

We will walk up to the pretty village of Grambois and through the narrow, winding streets of the historic centre. This is where scenes from Marcel Pagnol’s films, La Gloire de mon Père and Le Château de ma Mère were filmed. Leaving the village we will follow the path to the ruins of Valbonnette where we will have panoramic views of the Luberon, Ste Victoire and the Aigues countryside.

 

Nous montons dans le village de Grambois et découvrirons le centre historique et ses jolies ruelles. C’est dans ce village où certaines  scènes du film La Gloire de mon Père et le Château de ma Mère, ont été tournées. Nous quittons le village par un sentier qui nous mène vers les ruines de Valbonnette et nous profiterons de beaux panoramas sur la Sainte Victoire, le Luberon et le Pays d’Aigues.
