Route 8 daagse Groepsrondreis Highlights of Provence

A stunning part of Provence and relatively untouched by tourism, Greoux les Bains offers the perfect base for a walking holiday. We stay in the comfortable Hotel des Alpes in the heart of the town, allowing us to enjoy the variety of restaurants, cafes and shops on our doorstep. During the week we explore the region with a mixture of walks directly from the hotel or following a short private bus transfer. With the bustling market town of Forcalquier, the dramatic Verdon Gorge and depending on the season, fields of lavender or poppies just a short drive away, there is much to be explored.

  1. Dag 1 - Start Greoux-les-Bains.
  2. Dag 2 - Walk direct from the hotel to the Valensole plateau, a spectacular area in summer for seeing fields of lavender.
