Let's face it, straddling two departments (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Vaucluse), the Luberon is a little gem. This tiny piece of land breathes exception. It is because the Luberon has long remained on the sidelines of modern revolutions. Here, men had to fight against a mischievous nature that played with their cultures, their patience, made them strong and ingenious. All these generations have given us a harmonious landscape where the large farmhouses (and we remember to pronounce the "s"!) are scattered in the lines of vines, lavender or cherry trees, sometimes overhung by perched villages(Bonnieux, Lacoste...). A landscape where the small roads are as many veins that criss-cross the hills and forests. We follow the paths that cross the garrigue, the wall of the plague that reminds us of the fear and the madness of men. The villages and small towns, Apt, Lourmarin, Manosque, Cavaillon, Roussillon and its ochre trail..., have all kept their soul, their colors. Here, no buildings but dry stone houses (don't miss the village of bories), plane trees and micocouliers under which you can taste the fruit of the greed of all the producers of here... and they are numerous and talented. So, take a break... Accept this slightly different rhythm where the hours have a different flavor, the eyes shine and the words sing.

When to go to the Luberon ? The mild climate makes it possible to enjoy this outdoor territory all year round, except when the winter mistral wind blows and freezes your blood.

However, the number of tourists is high, the prices go up and the stay becomes very expensive. The Luberon region is also a very gourmet destination with renowned chefs, divine specialties, savory or sweet versions, and typical local products. Olive oil, truffles, wines and a whole art of living are celebrated here and tourists are invited to taste them all year long, during short and thematic stays. One thinks in particular of Cavaillon has its feria of the melon, at the beginning of July.

Finally, winter is also interesting for its strong regional traditions: the thirteen desserts and the Christmas markets, which are nothing like the markets in the north. In particular, you will have the opportunity to attend the region's living nativity scenes.
