Climbs at this crag

¤ (Option 1) At the place called "Jouvenal" (in a turn) turn left on dirt road towards the sector "Saint-Pierre. Drive 10 minutes. Park in the dedicated car park. If it is complete, change of sector. It is imperative to park on the plateau. Go right through a little path to the edge of the plateau. Arrived to a terrace, there is a down climb on the line between large rocks, then a handrail. The rest of the way is obvious.

¤ (Option 2) Go through the place "Jouvenal" in the descent you can not miss the cliffs. Parking area to strictly respect. If there is no more space go back on the paving.

From Cavaillon, go to the Isle-sur-Sorgue [D928] and Pernes-les-Fontaines [D928] and finally Saint-Didier [D28]. The best is to take the direction of Beaucet before joining Venasque.

Or much better, arrive by Carpentras, directly below Venasque (D4). Then follow the Beaucet.
