Visit the Luberon Regional Nature Park

Nestled between the Alps and the Vaucluse Plain, the Luberon stretches out with its rounded silhouette, watching over Provence. Known for its remarkable natural heritage, its mild climate, and its time-honored traditions, this unspoiled region is best explored on foot, by bike, or on horseback to uncover its secrets.

In the heart of Provence, enjoy a rolling landscape—or even a lunar one, if you continue on to Montagne de Lure. From the moon to the stars, it’s just a short step… The Saint-Michel Observatory is renowned for the unparalleled beauty of its night sky. Be sure to stop by to expand your knowledge of astronomy.

Manosque, Dauphin, Pierrevert… The Luberon also includes the town of Forcalquier and its famous Provençal market. Be sure not to miss it during your stay.

Nearby, you can also explore the spectacular landscapes of the Verdon Gorges, the charm of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and the many attractions of the Aix-en-Provence region.
