1. Starting from the hamlet of La Colette at the foot of Château Renaissance, follow the Roucas tarmac path. You will soon see the presence of small orchards. This path runs alongside green meadows where almond trees are in bloom from late February. The flocks of little songbirds herald the first signs of spring all along the route.
2. At La Basse Prairie, you reach the Aiguebrun river, an idyllic corner for fauna and flora. The perfect spot to paddle and take a break. With a little bit of luck, you will also be able to see a kingfisher or a dipper. After the little bridge, go up a small hill on the left and continue straight on along the Vitas path to join the Carraire path. At the intersection, stay on the tarmac path and turn right (you can see the village of Puyvert on the left). Continue straight on up the slope to reach the pine grove, leave the Huguenots path on your left and continue. There are many broom bushes on both sides of the path, with the Petit Luberon mountain range facing us. At the intersection, turn right following the Pierrouret path and go back down behind the wooded hill.
3. On the zigzag tarmac path, you come to the GR97, go alongside the hill and reach the Colette du Château (source of the Raillet) and the village of Lourmarin.
