Provence has many trails connecting the
villages. Often they are well marked in the
local language. You can hike through the
narrow cobbled streets of one village and
then into the hills on networks of trails
through the groves and vineyards for the
hike to the next village. A good map and
compass/gps will keep you on track.
Each village has a market day where the
fruits and vegetables will be fresh or you can
find the produce vendor to stock up on the
low-fat crushed olive tapinades spiced with
basil, the fresh fruits, goat cheese, and
French bread. Your trail might lead to a
local vineyard for a bottle of wine to
complete the picnic lunch on the way to the
next village.
In the Luberon Mountains , the Alpiles , and
and Vaucluse Plateau, the villages where
you will find lodging are usually no more
than six to ten miles apart
Hiking may not be allowed in July and
August, however, when forest fire danger is
high
