A pretty hike starting near the thermal baths in Greoux les Bains. After following the Verdon river, we will climb up through the Ravin des Détroits to the plateau La Draille de la Partie. Here we will picnic with panoramic views over the Pre-Alps, the Mont Ventoux and surrounding area. We will descend through the forest and return to the village along the river bank. Take time at the end to visit this Roman thermal spring town with its winding streets and pretty shops selling local products.
Une belle randonnée au départ des Thermes de Greoux les Bains. Après avoir longé la rivière le Verdon, nous monterons à travers le Ravin des Détroits sur le plateau La Draille de la Partie où nous allons pique-niquer. Nous aurons des vues panoramiques sur les Pré-Alpes, le Mont Ventoux et d’autres massifs aux alentours. Nous descendrons dans la forêt et retournerons au village le long de la rivière. Prenez le temps de visiter cette ville thermale avec ses petites ruelles et des jolis magasins artisanaux.
