With your dog
Want to get away from it all with your four-legged friend? Provence is the ideal walking destination and to make it easier to choose days out with your pooch we have hand-picked a few ideas for walks and activities to do where your dog will be welcome.
The “dog-friendly” ochre fields of Provence
•The Provençal Colorado in Rustrel: Two possible routes for walking your dog on the lead around this site that resembles the set of a Western film.
•The Ochre Trail (“Sentier des Ocres”) in Roussillon: Stretch your legs along this trail, with a short or longer route to choose from.
•The Ochre Trail of Mormoiron: Far less touristy than those in the Luberon, this is ideal for a long walk off the lead beneath the shade of the pine trees.
Find out more about these sites in our section on The Ochre Fields of Provence.
Hiking with your dog on Mont Ventoux
You have several hiking trails to choose from for exploring the summit of Mont Ventoux with your four-legged friend, who will be able to run free across the open spaces along some sections of the route. However, keep an eye on your pooch to avoid any accidents, particularly with the many cyclists along this legendary mountain pass.
