Holiday information

 

A walking holiday in the Luberon

Beneath the dense forest and bare limestone cliffs of the imposing Luberon Massif lies a sunny plain whose undulations are crowned by ancient villages of honey-coloured houses that cluster around crumbling châteaux. Here, between the Alps and the Mediterranean, you are in the very heart of Provence, where the vineyards of the Luberon and the Vaucluse thrive in the warmth, their light wines the ideal accompaniment to the delicious regional cuisine flavoured with rosemary, thyme and garlic.
On this holiday you journey westwards, from the brilliant yellow ochre mines of the Petit Luberon near Roussillon to the white chalk landscapes on the flanks of Mont Ventoux, passing through a series of remarkable hill-top villages. Characterised by narrow streets of sturdy, shuttered houses, they bask in the glorious sunshine, affording sweeping views over the surrounding landscapes.

Itinerary

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.

  • Arrival in Roussillon
    Night 1: at Les Sables d'Ocre (the first of three nights here).
    As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of exploration.
  • Choice of walks from Roussillon: 12km or 14km

    Circular walk via Lioux: 14km, 5hrs
    This superb introductory circuit leads you across an agricultural plain to reach the hamlet of Lioux with its spectacular bleached cliffs and fine views. Your route then climbs the dramatic cliff of Falaise de la Madeleine to descend to the plain on the other side and wind its way back to Roussillon. Before returning to your hotel, you may like to explore the ochre mines nearby; their startling array of colours are perhaps best appreciated by walking along the sentier des ocres trail (pay locally).

    Linear walk from Bonnieux to Roussillon: 12km, 4.5hrs
    The second walk starts after a transfer to Bonnieux, an atmospheric village of houses clambering up the hillside, seemingly one on top of another. The route back to Roussillon takes you along a Roman road, the Via Domitia, lined with cherry orchards, almond groves and vineyards, and south to the Cavalon Valley, crossing the river via the Pont Julien, a 2,000-year-old Roman bridge.

    Circular walk via Lioux: 14km
    Linear walk from Bonnieux to Roussillon: 12km
  • Roussillon to Gordes: 14km, 5hrs
    Leaving the brightly coloured houses of Roussillon behind, you head west through open countryside via the charming village of Joucas to magnificent Gordes. Clinging to its rocky perch, Gordes has been labelled – and rightfully so – 'one of the most beautiful villages in France'. You stay two nights here at either Le Mas des Romarins or Le Domaine de l'Enclos, both in peaceful locations on the edge of the village.
    Roussillon to Gordes: 14km
    Gordes
  • Circular walk from Gordes: 9km, 3.5hrs; longer option: 17km, 6.5hrs
    Today's route is a leisurely circuit to the picturesque Abbaye de Sénanque. The abbey was founded in 1148 and is still home to an Order of Cistercian monks who produce honey, lavender essence and a variety of liqueurs. Surrounded by lavender fields, it stands in a truly delightful and peaceful setting. We suggest two routes to reach the abbey, the shorter one allowing more time to explore this historic site.

    Today, take time also to explore the narrow, cobbled streets of Gordes and discover beautiful old doorways, arcades and quaint corners between its houses of grey and white stone which rise to a peak, topped by the church and château.
    Circular walk from Gordes: 17km
    Sénanque Abbey on the route around Gordes
  • Gordes to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse: 14km, 5.5hrs; shorter option: 11km, 4.5hrs
    This is a lovely, varied walk with some very beautiful stretches. You cross stream valleys, climb over headlands of garrigue and follow the flank of a gorge to finally drop down over a great view of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. On the way, you have the chance to visit a restored village of bories, which are an ancient form of Provençal stone dwelling (the shorter version of the walk omits this visit). In Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, you spend your final two nights at the delightful Hotel du Poète.
    Gordes to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse: 14km
    Visit a restored village of 'bories'
  • Circular walk from Fontaine-de-Vaucluse: 13km, 5.5hrs
    Your final walk is a varied circuit through the wooded garrigues (limestone hills), passing the imposing fortified château at Saumane de Vaucluse. It sits above the small village of Saumane, set on a rocky perch in a sea of green forested hills. The houses merge with the cliffs, trees, shrubs and flowers adding to the natural feel of the place. Return to the hotel to relax on its tranquil terrace by the river and small swimming pool.

    This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you for any of the options listed above except those operated by Ryanair. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service. Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

    The walking in the area was excellent helped by six days of glorious sunshine for late in the season. Hotel swimming pools however were not open (except at Hotel Poete) and it can be difficult finding a decent restaurant for an evening meal as many were closed for the end of the season so advance booking for meals is essential.

    In mid October the Luberon was very quiet, very sunny and warm and a lovely pre-autumn tonic.
    All hoteliers, restaurateurs and boulangerie staff were universally helpful and courteous serving delicious food and wine.
    I have already looked at your Secret Provence holiday for our next visit.

  • Mrs J Gross

    This is a fabulous holiday and now in our top Inntravel three (the others being Mallorca and Lake Iseo). The walks are varied, the natural landscapes at Roussillon and Fontaines de Vaucluse are amazing, and the villages full of interest. We found excellent restaurants and ate well. Particuarly recommend the David restaurant in the Glycine hotel at Roussillon, and the Pointe Noire at Fontaines. A highlight was the last walk when we came down from the chateau into the only village on the walk and had a Ricard, a glass of rose and chevre samosas on the terrasse of the one restaurant, with the sun on our backs and great views.

    Excellent walk - notes were very accurate and easy to follow. Selection of towns was perfect - each with their own charm and the grade of walk met our expectations. Hotel du Poete was especially charming and a fabulous location. This is our 16th walk with Inntravel and did not disappoint.

    The walking was wonderful. The countryside was varied and very beautiful. The colours of the landscape are amazing. No wonder so many people have gone there to paint. We stayed in three different villages, not far from each other by road but a good walk away using your routes. Each place was unique and had its own charm. It would be very difficult to pick out a favourite. It now makes me want to go back and explore more, perhaps by bike. Excellent and very relaxing holiday.

  • Mr H Aldous

    Splendid week.  Roussillon, Bonnieux, Gordes and Saumane are delightful.  (Fontaine de Vaucluse is innundated with tourists from a huge car and bus park - to its detriment.)

    All walks were good but the last two, that from Gordes to Fontaine de Vaucluse and the Fontaine circular walk, were absolute delights - some of your best.

    Upgrades well worth taking for quiet terraces.

  • Alan Taylor
    21 June 2019

    Thanks not only to Peter Mayle, the Luberon has a high public profile and the trip started with correspondingly high expectations.  Delicious food and crisp white wines: tick.  Provençal rosé for elegant variation: tick.  Gentle hills with vineyards, shady woods, olive trees and wild flowers and butterflies aplenty: tick.  Purple fields of lavender scenting the countryide: tick.  Relaxed lifestyle with friendly bars and restaurants: tick – although in places the bars are too widely spaced for walkers.  Langorous evenings with gentle breezes: tick.  Bright mornings promising warm southern sunshine: yes, but …

    We have long since abandoned the Mediterranean region in sultry, stuffy July and August, yet hoped late June would be fine.  Which is how it happened that we were there when France recorded its all-time record temperature – over 45 degrees just a few miles from us.  We shortened the walks to try and arrive at our destinations before lunch, and gave up walking altogether after the temperature reached the upper thirties.  Our dominant memory is the endurance trek across the parched garrigue above Fontaine de Vaucluse, the temperature reaching 39 degrees and the water bottles emptying too rapidly for comfort.  After that, it was just too hot to do much beyond enjoy the swimming pools and air-conned rooms of the hotels.

    But that was entirely our choice.  Ten degrees cooler, and this would have been another wonderful Inntravel holiday.  The Hotel du Poète at Fontaine de Vaucluse is one of the nicest we have stayed at; the nearby paper-mill and Petrarch museums provided interest on a day too hot to walk; and of course for geologists the famous vauclusian spring was an essential sight.  Roussillon was a revelation with its bright red and yellow ochre-stained cliffs visible from miles around.  The fruit and drink stall discovered by Pont Julien added luscious juicy cherries to our day’s picnic.  Clear cool (non-potable) water in lavoirs at Le Chateau and Cabrieres refreshed us.  The Romanesque grandeur of the Abbaye de Senanque conferred cool cloistered calm in a secret-seeming valley.  An amble around Gordes as evening fell and the tourist hordes departed led us to a memorable meal at the Artegal restaurant.

    Not our first visit to Provence – and we hope not our last, either.

    The whole itinerary was excellent, but highlights for us were the path from Joucas to Gordes on the high ground, and the gorge Le Vallon des Esperacon on the descent into Fontaine de Vaucluse.

    Each village we stayed in was lovely, and we really enjoyed exploring them.

  • Mr D Hopps

    We can thoroughly recommend this holiday. A wide variety of terrain, beautiful views and panorama. It was a part of France that we hardly knew at all and we will be inspired to go back and explore further. We especially enjoyed the walking to arrive at Fontaine de Vaucluse on day 5; the valley descent had exceptional views and beauty. Another highlight was the walk on day 4 on the garrigue where they had suffered a wild fire. Despite the burnt terrain, the views across the valley were superb - breathtaking. I visited the Abbaye Senanque and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guide was clear and very well-briefed and I coped with her French absolutely fine. Very interesting. Despite being very touristy we found the 'villages perchés' to be delightful; lovely buildings and little streets. On day 5 we did the detour near the mur de la Peste to see a small village and Chateau at Cabrieres. Very well worth the detour. The village is sleepy and typically French. The man at the limited opening bar Le Vieux Bistro there was very welcoming and friendly. A great little detour.
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • If your holiday plans go awry because of Coronavirus, rest assured that we’ll do right by you. Since the start of the pandemic, our flexible booking policy and prompt issuing of refunds to customers who prefer not to defer their holiday have earned us high praise in the national press.
  • We sincerely hope that your holiday experience will be as enjoyable as it would have been before the pandemic – walking holidays are ideal in these times of social distancing, and we’re not operating holidays if the key highlights can no longer be delivered – but, naturally, there will be some changes to ensure your and other people’s safety, not least proving your vaccination status or taking a test in order to travel.

  • We’ll send you route notes and maps 2-3 weeks before your holiday. The route notes not only contain directions to get from A to B, but also include practical information about places of interest and eateries along each route, plus cultural information about the area. If/when you are moving between hotels, you leave your luggage in reception as you leave, and it will be transferred ahead to your next accommodation, meaning that all you need to take with you are a camera, sun cream, drinks, food and waterproofs.

    For more detailed information, see our walking holidays in Europe page.
  • Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
  • We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines (but not, currently, with Ryanair). As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. The fee for this service is £35 per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). More information on flights >
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
    The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

    You don’t have to take out a policy with our recommended provider (if you live outside the UK you’ll definitely need to make your own arrangements, as the policy is only for UK residents), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    We'll ask you for the details of your policy (insurer, policy number and medical emergency phone number) so that we can help out if the worst happens while you are on holiday. It's up to you, though, to check that your policy covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs; we don't check alternative policies.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to France, but not a visa. If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
