Interesting valley, generally quite wooded (you can't see the walls that much) with two or three "via ferrata" type passages which can be tricky in wet weather. Nothing insurmountable but it's better to have good footing all the same.

This oak is really powerful, it must be very old. But above all, you have a wonderful view of Murs with its château and the old church from here.

We started our first very varied hike in Provence. The tour even started right from our accommodation. Beautiful forests and landscapes, some dilapidated mills, picturesque villages, and a dry gorge—what more could you want? 😍
The 34°C was a bit too warm, even for us. 🥵
