September 7, 2023,09. Cubières-sur-Cinoble to Cucugnan

The detour via the castle ruin of Peyrepertuse is very much worth the effort for two reasons. The views from up there are just fantastic and the Billeterie is selling cold soft drinks.
Cucugnan is a touristic place offering plenty of overnight stays and very good dinner opportunities.
