Bonnieux, typical village of Provence
Nestled on the side of a hill dominated by the steeple of its old church, and perched 425m above the valley below, Bonnieux is one of the most beautiful villages in the Luberon.
A former pontifical city, the village benefits from a magnificent position offering a breathtaking view of the whole regionof Apt and Ventoux, and of the magnificent different sunsets every evening.
Breathtaking landscapes
The Luberon never ceases to amaze with its interplay of colors, its very special light and its natural riches. Discover rich panoramas, vast plains planted with vines, lavender, olive trees and cherry trees and gentle hills carpeted with oaks and paths lined with dry stones.
Colorful landscapes Roussillon and Rustrel
With its famous Sentier des Ocres, its Conservatory of Ocher and Color, and its landscapes coloured in the traditional way, Roussillon, one of the most beautiful villages in France, is distinguished by its shades of yellow, orange and red colours which give it a particular charm.
In Rustrel, the Provençal Colorado is also an unmissable and breathtaking site in terms of the range of colours, flora and backdrops. You will discover there grandiose sites sculpted both by the elements and by the hands of mankind.
Source of inspiration for many artists Fontaine-de-Vaucluse
Fontaine de Vaucluse is one of the most visited natural sites in the region. And for good reason, as the village is home to a very impressive spring which gushes out at the foot of a 230m high cliff, sculpted by erosion, and which is the most powerful fountain in France (and fifth in the world). This enchanting place offers emerald-green water shaded by huge centuries-old plane trees, and landscapes dotted with caves and valleys. You can walk along the river, on its verdant banks, or experience the joys of canoeing on an 8km descent of the Sorgue.
The “Giant of Provence” Mont-Ventoux
Much appreciated by cyclists for its ascent and its extraordinary landscapes, Mont Ventoux reigns over Provence from the peak of its 1 912m altitude. Nicknamed the "Giant of Provence", from its summit it provides an exceptional panoramic view of the Rhône Valley, the Baronnies and the Vaucluse plateau. Like its different landscapes (depending on which level you are at), its flora is extremely varied with more than 1 000 species of plants.
