Lavender Tour reconnaissance hike

 Yesterday's reconnaissance hike around Saint Michel l'Observatoire and around Valensole with Aurélie, our trusty intern.

For our new self-guided lavender walking tour.

Now all I have to do is finish writing the Roadbook!

What do we do on our day off here at Walk Inn?
We hike!
Yesterday Sonja and I (and our respective families) went on a hike atop the Alpilles mountain range, with the hills in full bloom.
Here are some pics:











































Les Jas du Ventoux.

A beautiful hike on the southern face of Mont Ventoux, with cherry trees in full bloom.



Climbing from the  village of Bedoin to midway up the mountain...






... to centuries-old shepherd's huts lost in the hills. Well, not so lost. We found them.











Descending via the Curnier canyon.











Good thing I didn't have too much to eat at lunch. It's a tight squeeze.
