Day 1 - Isle : a Luberon village by the clear waters of the Sorgue
Your walking tour begins in the lovely Luberon village of Isle sur la Sorgue: a veritable island of a village, surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Sorgue river, its canals bordered by quaint cafés, restaurants, and antique shops. The town’s Sunday market is among the most colourful in Provence. Lose yourself among the labyrinth of narrow streets and in the town’s warm Provençal charm.

A short transfer takes you to Fontaine de Vaucluse and its mysterious spring. Following a 300 year-old wall built to ward off the plague which entered Marseille in 1720, you walk along paths carved into the bush and through cedar forests to Gordes
Gordes is perched high above the Calavon valley, its majestic stone homes rising dramatically in concentric circles to its castle, crowning the village. Atop a vast plateau, you cross through lavender and thyme-laden fields dotted with old stone huts, on your way to Sénanque Abbey, a jewel of 12th century Romanesque architecture. You will have time to explore the Abbey before returning to Gordes via a cobbled path.
Short transfer to Goult. You walk from the authentic village of Goult to the village of Lacoste, crowned by the imposing ruins of the castle of the Marquis de Sade. Your walk continues to Bonnieux, another gem of the Luberon, one of the centre-stage villages in Peter Mayle's 'A Year in Provence'. Visit its beautiful town squares and the old cobbled steps leading to its 12th century church. 
A pleasant and gradual climb through the cedar forest leads to the ridge of the Petit Luberon mountain. At the top, the outstanding view extends from the Alps to the north to the Mediterranean Sea to the South. You continue through the shaded cedar forest before dropping down to the plains and a leisurly return to Bonnieux.
Transfer to Isle, after breakfast. End of your trip in Isle
