Walking in the Luberon

We are very lucky to be able to walk out from our house to endless magnificent walks.
Whether you like a casual stroll or a challenging hiking trail you will be spoilt for choice in the Luberon.
Our gites Les Oliviers & Cerisiers and our houses Le Chene & Les Cypres are all walking distance of the village of Saint Saturnin Les Apt.
One regular walk that we make is to the small village of Villars. 


The iris's are in full bloom with an array of colours.


Whilst the warm sunny spring has brought the vines to life early





Look closely at the grapes developing - your next glass of wine!



Even the weeds are looking good!

 And the roses are blooming gorgeous!

 These cherries are also earlier than normal and will be ready before the end of the month.

This is a simple walk, about 10 kilometres, quite easy and lots to see. 
If you prefer a more challenging hike we have an excellent book with 20 walks from the village.
Spring and Autumn are arguably the best time with more comfortable temperatures and fantastic colours.

Love your blog and the pictures - looking forward to our stay this September and enjoying the sights and sounds "live". We see a lot of walking in our future!
