Presentation

Welcome to Montbrun les Bains and its lovely surroundings. This is one of the prettiest villages in France, with open gates and an open heart. Montbrun is also a thriving spa resort that has expanded to offer new services and care treatments.
A series of walks takes you to the essence of Provençal Drôme among lavender fields whose fragrance will scent your summer nights. It's a land of light and perfume to delight the senses. Explore the Upper Provence where celebrated author Jean Giono lived, a few kilometres from Montbrun, high on the Plateau d'Albion. You'll travel on foot through the Baronnies in unspoilt and quite remarkable natural surroundings.
And wherever you walk, the Giant of Provence will watch over you. If the fancy takes you, you could always go up and greet him at the summit...

Note: This tour requires to have a car to join the various hikes.

  • D1 Tour of the Citadelle from Montbruns les Bains

    Arrival from 16h00 onwards.

    If you have time, you may like to do an easy 5 km walk nearby.
    5 km walk, total uphill 150m. Duration around 2hrs. Level 1/5.
    This pleasant walk starts in the streets of Montbrun les Bains then continues on round the Citadelle.
    La Citadelle is the high point which Montbrun backs on to.
    The tour round this 'sharp' little mountain affords very fine views over the nearby village of Reilhanette and the more distant Mont Ventoux.

    Dinner at a restaurant and night at a 3 star hotel.

  • D2 The chapel of La Done

    9 km walk (6 km if you start from the guest house). 450 m total uphill. Duration around 3hrs. Level 2/5.

    This pleasant walk aims to bring you to the modest Chapelle de la Done with its sober yet original architecture.

  • D3 The summit of Le Chomatton by the Col (pass) de la Bohémienne starting from Aulan

    14 km stage with 650m total uphill. Duration around 4hrs 30mins. Level 4/5.
    This circuit crosses some wild, practically uninhabited countryside. The narrow path over the Col de la Bohémienne brings you to the heart of the Baronnies Provençales. The route is very diverse, going through a valley bottom, then snaking along the mountainside through patches of marl before following a long ridge. Two thirds of the itinerary are at more than 1000m. The fine viewpoints over the area are crowned by that from the peak Le Chomatton, culminating at an altitude of 1136 metres.
    Along the way you may like to have a closer look at the Château d'Aulan which proudly guards the gorges of Toulourenc and the village of Poët-en-Percip.

Global note
4.5

  • Completely satisfied with Safrantours. Itineraries, tours, gîtes and bed and breakfasts to the highest standard! (translated from french)

  • Montbrun est un joyau de village médiéval dans un écrin de nature préservée. Une provence nature et authentique, pour les amoureux du vrai et des belles randos.

  • Très bon séjour dans l'ensemble, nous garderons un bon souvenir. Une erreur sur le livret au niveau des repas mais très vite réparée pas Safrantours. Merci pour votre dévouement.

  • Super organisation. Parfait !
