A cultural, natural and gastronomic journey awaits you! <\/p><p>Leaving Grimaud, follow a particularly winding road for around 45 min through the woods to the magnificent Chartreuse. It&#8217;s a beautiful road, but with lots of twists and turns&#8230;. sensitive souls be warned! On the other hand, the scenery is absolutely charming. On this route, you can admire the beauty of the vast wooded hills that retain their green color all year round.<\/p><p>You&#8217;ll have to drive another 700 m through a forest of oak and chestnut trees to reach the Chartreuse after parking your car. The gap between the trees offers the best view of the entire religious edifice.
