| 36.56km | 0.72km | Rustrel | This town is the gateway to Le Colorado Provencal, a park with ocre cliffs.

| 48.56km | 4.92km | Viens | Per Rick Steves: This town is where locals from Rousillon go to get away. Explore the streets of the old town and "find the courtyard of the old chateau and the lone stone arch overlooking the view. This is how Gordes must have looked before it became chic." Le Petit Jardin Cafe, just below the town's only phone booth, offers an unpretentious lunch stop. There's also a small grocery and bakery a few blocks past the cafe. | WSW | 243° | 621m |
