A very varied panoramic hike in the Luberon hills and through the lavender fields around the picturesque village of Saignon where we start the hike. From here we go up into the hills passing several lavender fields and then into the oak forest. During the hike we will enjoy panoramic views of the Luberon region over to the Mont Ventoux and Montagne de la Lure. At the end of the hike, we recommend that you take the time to visit the village of Saignon and ‘Rocher de Belvedere’.
