Hiking - Between the scrubland and the Durance river

Aromas from pines and scrub, mix of meanders and the tranquillity of the birds. A triumphant Durance cocktail!

« This body of water, upstream of the dam of Mallemort on the Durance, is of prime importance for birds. For example, it is the largest winter dormitory of the region for cormorants.! With its wealthy wildlife and therefore in preys, the Durance offers a prime hunting ground for raptors such as the Grand Duke or the Bonneli Eagle,nesting in the cliffs of the Petit Luberon nearby». Aline Salvaudon project manager of the natural areas at the RNP of Luberon.

Do not go too close to the cliff edges (point 1) and irrigation canals (before and after point 4). Be discreet if you want to watch birds from the observatory (after point 3).
