Kick off your week with a 50-kilometer journey starting amidst the dramatic, jagged limestone cliffs of the Alpilles mountains at the medieval fortress of Les Baux-de-Provence. After taking in the panoramic vistas, you will descend through ancient olive groves and cross the lush plains that separate the ranges, perhaps passing through the market town of Cavaillon. The day culminates with an ascent into the Luberon Regional Nature Park to arrive at the stunning hilltop village of Gordes, famous for its tiered dry-stone architecture and sweeping valley views.
