Ribeyret can be explored through several clearly distinct interests: Provençal architecture in the village, the “Maraysse (N°7)” route, and activities related to plants. When planning, it is worth distinguishing a walk through the lanes from a hike. The village details, the route’s stated difficulty and the plant-related activities appeal to different interests and can help you choose the focus of your stay.

Village, Architecture and Sundial

Ribeyret lies at the foot of Maraysse. Its traditional Provençal architecture is characterised by golden natural stone and flat tiles. The typical lanes are ideal for a walk through the village. Ribeyret’s sundial is located on the church in the village centre; its motto is “Pren lo daise e fai te vieilh”.

There are several points of interest for a village walk: the lanes as a route through the village, the sundial as an individual object, and the materials as hallmarks of traditional construction. This makes the walk and architectural details a distinct focus alongside a hike.

Hiking at Maraysse

The “Maraysse (N°7)” route is associated with Ribeyret and rated difficult. It is 4.1 km long and includes 400 metres of ascent. The figures should be considered together: the distance indicates the route length, the elevation gain describes the ascent, and the rating states the level of difficulty. So be sure to take not only the distance but also the ascent and difficulty into account when planning. Unlike a walk through the lanes, this route is a hiking option with explicitly stated distance and elevation details.

Plants and Hands-on Insights

At a farm in Ribeyret, Les cueillettes de Marielle makes herbal teas, infused oils, balms, vinegars and jams from fruit grown in its own orchard. Les cueillettes de Marielle also offers workshops on making body oil and botanical walks. Its range of products and activities offer different ways to explore plant-related topics: alongside the products, there is a workshop and walks as separate formats. The workshop specifically focuses on making body oil; a botanical walk is a different focus. When comparing products and activities, you can choose between the products on offer and the different formats.

For 2026, 1.5-hour demonstrations were planned at Des O & des Bois in Ribeyret. Topics included woodturning, the properties of the material, various tools and their use, as well as safety considerations. The demonstration therefore combines a practical display with explanations about wood and working methods. If this format fits your travel plans, check whether a session is available.
