No doubt you\u2019ve been drawn by the landscapes and the immersion in nature that our rolling hills offer. But, like anyone preparing to stay in Provence, you\u2019ll also be on the lookout for activities to enjoy in the event of a heatwave. Fortunately, the Regional Natural Park and its surroundings are full of opportunities to make the most of the season, despite the soaring temperatures. That\u2019s why, in this article, we present the best summer activities in the Alpilles to combine relaxation, coolness, and authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water-Based Activities in and Around the Alpilles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swimming Spots in and Around the Alpilles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We won\u2019t hide it from you \u2013 there aren\u2019t really any unmissable natural swimming spots within the Alpilles. There are rivers and lakes here, but swimming is not allowed. In that case, your only option is to take a dip a little further afield. Here are the places we recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pools and Aquatic Centres<\/strong><br>If you\u2019re wondering where to swim in Orgon and the surrounding area, you have several options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Cavaillon aquatic centre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The municipal pool in Mallemort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The municipal water sports centre in Salon-de-Provence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s also a pool right here in Orgon, at our very own<a href=\"https:\/\/la-vallee-heureuse.pausado.com\/\"> La Vall\u00e9e Heureuse campsite.<\/a> However, it\u2019s only accessible to our guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nearby Beaches<\/strong><br>If you prefer wild swimming, we recommend heading north. Just a few dozen kilometres from the Alpilles, you\u2019ll find some of the best swimming spots in the Luberon. These are our favourites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c9tang de la Bonde in Cabri\u00e8res-d\u2019Aigues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lac des Salettes in Mormoiron<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lac du Paty in Caromb<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these spots have kept their natural charm \u2013 perfect for a peaceful, refreshing break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Places to Cool Off by the Water in the Alpilles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if swimming isn\u2019t always possible here, you can still enjoy the freshness of the water\u2019s edge. Simply head to the lakes and rivers in the Alpilles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lac de Pe\u00efroou in Saint-R\u00e9my-de-Provence \u2013 the perfect spot for a shady walk among the pines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00c9tang de Rambaille and its canals at the foot of the Regional Natural Park \u2013 ideal for fishing, solo or with the family<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00c9tang des Aulnes near Saint-Martin-de-Crau<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The canals of La Crau and the Alpilles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Durance \u2013 the river marking the boundary between Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Sports in Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne and Vaucluse<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing beats water sports for cooling off in the height of summer. So why not try some aquatic activities in the Alpilles \u2013 or more widely, in Provence? We recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Canoeing on the Durance, the Sorgue, or the Rh\u00f4ne<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamique Wakepark in Arles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And for a wider range (jet ski, paddleboarding, etc.), head further south, around Marseille<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Parks and Lakeside Bases Near the Regional Natural Park<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for places to swim near S\u00e9nas, you\u2019ll find several must-visit spots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Plan d\u2019Eau de la Riaille in Apt \u2013 a floating pool with an aquabase, in a beautiful natural setting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The lake in Monteux\u2019s eco-district, near Carpentras \u2013 with an inflatable park and plenty of water-based activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wave Island in Monteux \u2013 a 100% water-based theme park, perfect for lively days with family or friends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activities to Enjoy in the Cool of the Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When temperatures soar but you still want to discover the local heritage, the trick is to go exploring during the cooler hours \u2013 the same goes for sports. Here are our favourite things to do in the Alpilles at sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit the Traditional Villages of Provence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No trip to the region would be complete without visiting the villages of the Alpilles. Each has its own special charm, but all share one word: authenticity. Choosing between them isn\u2019t easy, but here\u2019s our top pick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Saint-R\u00e9my-de-Provence \u2013 the artists\u2019 village immortalised by Vincent van Gogh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fontvieille \u2013 whose windmills inspired Alphonse Daudet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mouri\u00e8s \u2013 France\u2019s number one olive-growing village<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eygali\u00e8res \u2013 a quaint little town perched on its rocky peak<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Le Paradou \u2013 a former medieval village<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/la-vallee-heureuse.pausado.com\/decouvrir-les-alpilles\/decouvrir-baux-de-provence\">Les Baux-de-Provence<\/a> \u2013 one of the \u201cMost Beautiful Villages in France\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Morning Hikes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no shortage of hiking trails in Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne \u2013 in fact, we\u2019ve put together our own selection of<a href=\"https:\/\/la-vallee-heureuse.pausado.com\/les-randonnees\/meilleure-rando-alpilles\"> the best walks in the Alpilles<\/a>. And if you want to enjoy a little freshness, why not choose a route that follows a watercourse? Many of the water spots mentioned earlier are located along popular walking trails. You can find paths to suit you on sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visorando.com\/randonnee-alpilles.html\">Visorando<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheminsdesparcs.fr\/search?practices=1%2C2%2C3%2C4&amp;districts=17\">Chemins des Parcs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climbing and Cycling \u2013 Signature Outdoor Sports in the Alpilles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After exploring on foot, why not try some of the area\u2019s signature sports? Outside of hiking, the Alpilles are perfect for two main activities: climbing and cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For climbing, we recommend the sites in Eygui\u00e8res, Le Paradou, and Mouri\u00e8s\u2026 as well as the one accessible on foot from our campsite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for cycling, there\u2019s the bike path linking Saint-R\u00e9my-de-Provence to Saint-Etienne-du-Gr\u00e8s (20 km round trip) \u2013 an easy, paved route ideal for families. If you\u2019re feeling more ambitious, road cycling or mountain biking in the hills around Le Paradou, Mouri\u00e8s, or Saint-Etienne-du-Gr\u00e8s will give you a proper challenge \u2013 perfect for aspiring Tour de France competitors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccc To discover all the leisure activities in our area, take a look at our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/la-vallee-heureuse.pausado.com\/decouvrir-les-alpilles\/meilleure-activite-alpilles\">the best things to do in the Alpilles.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting Naturally Cool Places \u2013 One of the Best Summer Activities in the Alpilles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the cool air won\u2019t come to you, you might as well go looking for it. Luckily, there are plenty of refreshing spots<a href=\"https:\/\/la-vallee-heureuse.pausado.com\/aux-alentours\"> near our campsite in Orgon<\/a>. Here are a few to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carri\u00e8res de Lumi\u00e8res<\/strong><br>The jewel of Les Baux-de-Provence! This former limestone quarry, with walls 14 metres high, is naturally cool. Even better, it hosts a breathtaking sound-and-light show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Ch\u00e2teau of Les Baux-de-Provence<\/strong><br>An ideal visit for discovering a gem of Proven\u00e7al heritage without suffering from the heat. The centuries-old stones of the ch\u00e2teau stay pleasantly cool \u2013 a welcome contrast to the blazing southern sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Village Churches<\/strong><br>As we mentioned earlier, the villages of the Alpilles are well worth exploring \u2013 even more so in the heat. And what better place to escape the midday sun than a church? As you wander through the charming villages, take a moment to step into their chapels and churches \u2013 it\u2019s one of the simplest yet most delightful ways to combine sightseeing with staying cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasty and Refreshing Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Provence is famous not only for its landscapes but also for its traditions and gastronomy \u2013 which can bring you the refreshment you\u2019re craving during a heatwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enjoy an Artisan Ice Cream<\/strong><br>Summers are hot in the Alpilles, which is why you\u2019ll find plenty of ice cream shops in towns and villages.
