Hiking - Le Mourre Nègre, southern side

Ascension is athletic but quite rewarding once on the ridges.! From up there, you will see why the Luberon is 'Big'...

« At the bend of the path, after a sharp turn, short of breath, I found myself face to face with a herd of ewes.! I let them quietly go their way towards their sheep pen and I resumed the ascension of a Mourre Nègre playing hard to get… Once at the top, what a reward.! The Alps, the Mont Ventoux, the perched villages and in the distance, even the Mediterranean Sea.! On these ridges, you may no longer know which way to look ! » Marie Grenouilleau, trainee, a master 2 student at the Luberon RNP.

- After point 1: steep climb to the ridges.
