This itinerary is ideal if you’re a nature lover, looking for a moment of calm or wishing to discover more about the local heritage! Throughout the circuit, you’ll see how the rivers Ouvèze and Aygues have shaped the landscape, carving out their beds and forming hills on which villages have been built. The imprint of the Catholic knights – the Order of Templar – is still visible. To properly complete this visit, we suggest you continue your tour of the Enclave by bike – the circuit is scattered with numerous relics of the Templar - in particular the remarkable commandery of the Templar at Richerenches.
