The Luberon

 

Set between the Durance and the Monts de Vaucluse, the Luberon is rich in hilltop villages and châteaux, and its rich ochre cliffs make it unique in Provence. This universe of colours and savours bathed in sunlight is a favourite destination for the discerning tourist seeking its famous "art de vivre". The Luberon offers both historical monuments and unspoilt countryside, including the Country Park nature reserve.

The setting sun lingering on the hot stone of old villages and highlighting the warm ochre of the bare hills increases the beauty of the panorama. In spring, the pink and white blossom contrasts softly with the grey rocks and stone walls of the terracing. The Luberon is a breath of fresh air and peace.
