Make sure to stay on the paths and trails; the site of La Bruyère is very sensitive to erosion, trampling and disturbance of species. Refrain from any picking (flora, ochre). This environmentally sensitive area (ESA) is an exceptional territory, open to all under everyone's responsibility. Thank you for respecting this.
At 9 km northwest of Apt by the D900, D943 and D111.
It is thanks to the work of the inhabitants and volunteer hikers of Villars that some old trail sections have been recently developed. Their combination allows a mischievous route whichgoes through the ochre massif of La Bruyère and then progresses at the foot of the Monts-de-Vaucluse. The contrast is striking! So much wealth in such few steps ... Eric Garnier, Head of Studies for outdoor sports at the Luberon RNP.
