Dominated by high cliffs, the village of Orpierre is a popular destination with climbers – and walkers, thanks to its waymarked footpaths and above all the very charming old village itself with its network of little squares, narrow streets lined with pretty houses and covered passageways.
In the hills above the village, serious rock-climbers can climb to their heart's content on Quiquillon, Belleric and Adrech cliff faces. Meanwhile, Quatre Heures is ideal rock face for beginner climbers.
