This itinerary invites you to discover the Plateau de Valensole and its lavender fields that stretch as far as the eye can see.

From Gréoux-les-Bains, the route takes the direction of Puimoisson, through the deep valley of the Colostre, passing through the charming towns of Saint-Martin-de-Brômes, Allemagne-en-Provence and Riez. From the top of the plateau, vast panoramas on the surrounding massifs will be offered to you.

Recommended period: spring - autumn. Summer is not recommended.
