Tourist service in Beaumont-du-Ventoux :
On the Giants’ Trail, young and old alike are invited to explore the forest in a different way, guided by iconic figures who embody life, knowledge and human endeavour.
Through three themed trails, accessible directly from the Mont Serein station, set off to meet the Wooden Giant, guardian of the forest’s secrets; follow in the footsteps of the Giant of Science, inspired by the passionate work of Jean-Henri Fabre; or discover the Forest Giant, a symbol of reforestation and commitment to forestry. Punctuated by educational display stands and unusual discoveries, these trails offer an engaging and playful immersion in an exceptional natural environment that is both fragile and teeming with life.
