Le Fort, a fortified building dating back to the century in Buoux, where the three enclosures and the defensive wall can still be seen.

A Luberon fortress built on a rocky spur, the fort's exceptional strategic position controlled the only easy passage from the Luberon to Buoux in the Aiguebrun valley. Fortified as early as the 12th century, Catholics and Protestants fought over the site during the Wars of Religion, taking it in turn before Louis XIV ordered its dismantling, fearing that the fort would serve as a refuge for Huguenots. The view from the top of the rocky point at the foot of the keep is spectacular. A very instructive walk!

Eine unglaublich beeindruckende Anlage hoch oben auf dem Berg. Trittsicherheit ist erforderlich. Es sind einiges an Höhenmetern zurückzulegen. Dennoch eine absolute Empfehlung. An einem Freitag Vormittag Ende Juli war es nicht voll.

Ein scharfer Ritt hinauf, aber es lohnt sich.
Beim Eintritt gibt es kühle Getränke für wenig Geld. Wirklich gut.

Lugar remarcable de obligada visita cuando se atraviesa el Luberon, si bien se echa de menos información sobre la historia del lugar. Usos y comunidades que pasaron por él.
En la torre Vigía de mayor cota, se puede apreciar restos fósiles marinos en la piedra y otros vestigios, como puede ser una pila para realizar sacrificios.

Fort Buoux is stunning. The area is wide, there is so much to see. It was a hot day and we almost didn't want to enter, but we would have missed so many interesting and unforgettable views. Highly recommend, well worth the climb!
