La Barben
A small locality with lots of things for families to do: the biggest zoo in the region, a magnificant mediaeval castle, fabulous country walks ....
Activities | leisure | La Barben
Park in the castle carpark. Take the path to Lambesc (follow the wooden sign you’ll find in the carpark). The path is on the banks of a stream – it is suitable for bikes (even with stabilisers), pushchairs and walking. A really lovely family walk. You can either go back the way you came or go round in a circle, but this takes longer and it isn’t always suitable for pushchairs. IMPORTANT! In the summer, walks are not allowed in the "zone rouge" (« red alert zone »), a protected area because of the danger of fires breaking out. The best thing to do is go to the Tourist Office in Pélissanne, where they can tell you more about it and give you maps for the walks.
