Provence day trip: walking in Buoux & Luberon - Moderate
Guided day trip in the Luberon
You guided walking day start in Buoux, in the heart of the Luberon. The river runs in a cove at the foot of Buoux' cliff - famous among rock-climbers - guided by the great rift separating the Petit and Grand Luberon.
From the Auberge des Seguins, a beautiful wild walk leads you along the famous Aiguebrun Valley, through lush vegetation and up to the tiny hamlet of Sivergues, lost in the most remote part of the Luberon. You continue walking upwards to the thyme-laden crests of the Luberon mountains. where on a clear day we can see the snow-capped peaks of the southern Alps. You enjoy a gourmet typical "provençal" picnic with spectacular views before embarking on our descent back to the Aiguebrun Valley. Along our return we can opt to visit the 3000 year-old Buoux Fort.
Optional : We return to the Auberge des Seguins before embarking on an optional visit of the 3000 year-old Buoux Fort, witness to the passing of several different civilizations that sought refuge atop a perilous, rocky crag.
