beautiful varied walk with beautiful panoramas. The plateau de Charrière reminds a bit of the High Fens. The descent along the Roman road to Moustiers is certainly worth doing with views of the Lac de Verdon, the plateau of Valensole and the Mont Ventoux.

Today we went on a circular hike from our accommodation, La Fabrique.

We first went through the village of Moustier, but then decided to postpone sightseeing until later. You can buy food for the journey everywhere here... if you need it.
