Travel Guide Sivergues

The village "at the end of the world" evoked by Henri Bosco in his double novel Le Trestoulas and L'habitant de Sivergues. Former Vaudois fiefdom of the Luberon, is located in a dead-end street in a very natural environment. It is undoubtedly the village that invented the "authentic". At the origin of its name (4th /5th century) perhaps an Arlesian whose family lived in the Luberon. Wife of Saint Castor, bishop of Apt, she would have founded a convent with six companions, from which the name of Sivergues ("six virgins") would have come from. There are 42 of them living at the end of this dead-end road surrounded by ravines! It's quite grandiose to see and to live too, no doubt
