Departing from Nyons, this route crosses the south-east of the Dieulefit - Bourdeaux region, where the landscapes turn towards Provence. It's a "discovery" itinerary, with vegetation that's more rugged but, depending on the season, more colorful.

It's a "discovery" itinerary of more active landscapes, with more rugged vegetation but, depending on the season, full of color. After Venterol and Rousset les Vignes, which smell so much of Provence, this excursion takes you up into the mountains, which in this region are called "serres". Although modest, the Col de Valouse can make your shirt wet and the Ravine de Valouse cold in the back. Saint Ferréol Trente Pas is a communal institution. The Condorcets who once occupied the central rock of the Bentrix valley are the ancestors of our humanist marquis of the same name. You're already back in Nyons, and a photo on the exceptional Romanesque bridge will bear witness to your conquest.
