DENTELLES of MONTMIRAIL

The range known as the Dentelles of Montmirail is formed of limestone ridges that were forced up into the vertical by tectonic forces during the secondary and tertiary geological eras. Erosion has removed much of the softer rock leaving a spectacular saw-tooth appearance. The range rises to 734 m and dominates the wine-growing plane beneath. The lower slopes are terraced with vines, olive groves and orchards.

For a view of the entire range we recommend you take the road D 90 to Suzette.

PLACES TO SEE AND THINGS TO DO

Numerous hiking trails.

The GR 4 passes this way as well as many smaller trails. (The GRs are major hiking trails that are signposted.)
For the more adventurous the Turk's room (Chambre du turc) is a particularly attractive setting at the end of one of the trails. After some not too difficult rock-climbing you reach a shelter under a rock resembling a Saracen watchtover, from which the spot gets its name. From there you can pull yourself through a narrow gully to arrive finally at the crest some 627 m above sea level, and enjoy the 360° panoramic view of the valley below and the other ridges in the Dentelles range.

Climbing

The Dentelles has a lot to offer climbers: on the right there is a multitude of ways to the top of the Saracen Dentelles.

MAP LOCATION

The Dentelles de Montmirail is bordered by the village of Crestet to the North, Séguret, Sablet, Gigondas and Lafare to the West, and Malaucène to the East. The road D 90 takes you to Suzette, a small village from where you can enjoy a view of the entire range.
