Just before the Rhône meets the Camargue delta, a
ridge of dramatic limestone hills rise into panoramic views and hidden
valleys where some of the best wineries in Provence lie next to beautiful
villages. From Avignon we walk through olive groves and pine forests to
the typically Provençal village of Barbentane. At the top of la Montagnette
is St Michel de Frigolet Abbey, from where we continue to Tarascon and
Les Baux via the crest of les Alpilles - magnificent views across the
escarpment. At St Rémy are the Gallo-Roman ruins of Glanum and from the
beautiful hilltop town of Eygalières we look across the plain to Mont
Ventoux and the Durance valley. Finally we walk the Aurelian way to Maussane
for the last night.
