Hiking - Veroncle, through its depths!

Themeanderings of the gorge of Veroncle: see the water for the prodigious show it left, more than for its rare lapping...

"Themastery of water and its uses is a dominant feature of Mediterranean civilization. If the gorgs of Veroncle, with its canals and windmills, are a striking proof of it, we too often forget the genius of which it was necessary to deploy and to exploit the water in our drymountains! " From "Mills of the Combe de Véroncle" OT of Gordes - Maurice Chabert, president of the departmental council of Vaucluse, formermayor of Gordes.

Do not go after a thunderstorm or in rainy weather; certain passages in the bottom of the ravine can prove to be very delicate or even dangerous!

In the downstream part of the gorge, be very careful on the crossings ofmore or less aerial offsets (ladder, handrail).

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