| The joy of being on a path, hiking the Circuit de Vieriou. |
We chose a hike in the Moyen Pays of Province today. The route is rated average, climbing and then descending 480m from the village of Coursegoule. We spent about 4 hours on the paths with switchbacks taking us up onto the Crete du Cheiron, along the crest and then back down via the Bastide de Vieriou to the village.
A fabulous morning; clear, crisp fresh mountain air to walk in with endless vistas. Very special.

| Our destination, the Crete du Cherion, from the village of Coursegoule. The beautiful terraces no longer used for lavender but for grazing crops. |
 |
| The Chapelle St-Michel, XI century and almost untouched all these years. Our destination looming in the background |
 |
| The village of Coursegoule from the Col de Coursegoule, our highpoint at 1424m along the hike. |
 |
| Magnificent views across the Moyen Pays as well as across to the Alps. |
 |
| Switchbacks. Not easy walking, rocky, boulders and lots of loose stones. |
