Hiking l’Étang de la Bonde

In the wonderful green Luberon there is this beautiful lake, called l’Étang de la Bonde. This lake is situated nearby the village of La Motte d’Aigues. You can make a great hike with kids along the lake.

We made the hike with our two kids in the fall, which offered us awing views on a beautiful landscape. The type of vegetation will give you beautiful colors all year long though. The fresh air also prevented our kids from complaining about the heat. In our case, to make a hike with our little ones, we have to create perfect conditions to get them enthusiastic ;-).

This hike along l’Étang de la Bonde we found on the website AllTrails, to get the map you only have to download the app. It is a trail of 3.2 km and very easy for the younger kids (and so for you as well). We parked our car near a vineyard from where we walked alongside the lake. Arriving at the lake you’re halfway there and it’s a perfect time and place for a picnic. The view is magnificent. Afterwards the trail takes you more uphill from where you will have an even more magnificent sight.

I hope you are inspired by this walk, if so, feel welcome to leave a comment with your experience of this hike with kids along the lake. For more hiking inspiration in the Provence, check this page with active activities on my website.
