A glass blowing workshop
A glass blowing workshop in l’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
Guillaume, a glass blower in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, gives you the chance to become a glass blower for a short time. This fascinating art delights young and old, teenagers and adults alike. During the workshop, each member of the family, all artisans for a day , can blow their own Christmas bauble in the colours of their choice and collect their creation the next day, after it has been cooked.

Véloz, at Séguret
Everyone can go on a mountain-biking adventure in the Dentelles de Montmirail! Teenagers won’t be moaning when it comes to taking an electric bike out with a “boost” mode to help with climbs, and you can give one of them a GPS to follow the path of the circuit Jean-Pierre from Véloz will have sent them in advance.
There are therefore lots of ways to discover the wonderful natural spaces and breath-taking views of the Vaucluse without dragging your feet during a family hike.

The Via Ferrata of Cavaillon
This vertical route along the cliff of the Saint Jacques Hill has one distinguishing feature : you can access it directly from the town centre of Cavaillon. The route is made up of two parts: the « via natura » (open to people above 1.30m), accessible to all, and the « via souterrata » (people above 1.50m), for the most athletic. The views from Mont Ventoux as far as the Alpilles are stunning, and orientation boards on the terraces are scattered along the path with information about the fauna, flora and local heritage.
Good to know
Access is free and equipment (harness, helmet and insurance system) can be reserved at AB Cycles Outdoor or Cyclix (closed on Sundays).
