Les Baux - coiffed maidens - Combe de Curnier

This walk consists of 2 parts. The first part follows a path along ochre-colored rock formations that have been created by erosion. Due to their remarkable shape, they are called "demoiselles coiffées".

The local vineyard Vignerons du Mont Ventoux in Bédoin has even named 2 wines "Secrets des Dames" referring to these rock formations.

The second part of the walk goes through a ravine “combe de cournier”. This combe becomes very narrow (down to just 60 cm) over a few hundred meters. Then back to the parking lot via a descending gravel path.

Since the tour has more or less an 8-shape, one can also do the route of the demoisselles separately in an easy walk of 1.7 km.

Parking lot near the hamlet of Les Baux on Chemin Des Demoisselles Coiffées.
