This trail reveals the wealth of flora around Mont Ventoux, which is a UNESCO-classified biosphere reserve. It is named in honour of the famous entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre.
Mont Ventoux is a fascinating place to visit, with 2 easily accessible circular hiking routes, one lasting 1 hour, the other 2 and a half. Through the stands of larch, fir and beech trees, you glimpse the Toulourenc Valley, the Baronnies of Provence, and one of Mont Ventoux's magnificent valleys.
Paths are signposted with informative panels describing the flora and fauna. Start out from the 'Bergerie de l'Avocat' sheepfold.
