 « After the lessons on the Bories, on the Gordes, here is another lessonon rural engineering.! At the time the castle of Gordes was being built, qualified with the lovely word as Renaissance, men brought stones down to build wells to trap the precious fluid and to make the windmills turn in the meandering of the Gorges of Véroncle. It was indeed the start of a new world.». According to J.P. Locci and D. Lacaille Association for the promotion and the preservation of industrial heritage in Vaucluse.

Do not engage in the downstream part of the route after a storm or rainy weather; some ravine bottom passages can be very difficult, in fact dangerous!


Also in the downstream part, be very careful when crossing more or less airy ledges (ladder, handrail).


Caution with your ankles on rocky and slippery passages at the bottom.
