Terrain

Containing many alternating little valleys of minimal depth and plains + hills to the east, (261 m to the Muse), the extremity is at the Dentelles de Montmirail.

Geology

The Dentelles de Montmirail are the furthest west of the Massif des Baronnies and constitute the first advance of the Alps into the Rhone Valley.

Rocky stones from the Late Jurassic (Tithonian) period with clay-limestone soil dominate the area.

Hydrography

The small stream Limade^[3] passes to the north of and flows into the Ouvèze, which passes to the west.

The Canal de Carpentras built in 1856, crosses the commune, and provides irrigation, thanks to a network of fillioles(small irrigation channels).

Plants

Mediterranean plants on the Dentelles de Montmirail compare to those from the Alpilles in many places. One can find aromatic plants (thyme, rosemary, fennel, lavender), Evergreen Oaks and Provençal White Pines (Aleppo Pines), etc.

Vines grow well on the hillsides and also on the stony flat ground, at higher levels.
