The tourist service at Maubec :
Discover the villages of the Luberon! On this itinerary, you'll see the Mur de la Peste (Plague Wall), a rampart built to protect the Comtat Venaissin from the plague! 27 km long, it was built of dry stone!
We set off on a greenway and discover the picturesque village of Les Beaumettes, with its troglodyte dwellings. We continue in a forest and heritage atmosphere, between low walls and dry-stone huts, as far as Gordes. Then on to the Col de Murs, in a beautiful mineral setting. The descent, on pleasant trails, takes in the 27 km Mur de la Peste, built 300 years ago.
