An evening of stargazing on Saint-Jacques Hill

Evening tour beneath the starry sky of Cavaillon from Saint-Jacques Hill

From the heights of Saint-Jacques Hill in Cavaillon, leave the bustle of the town behind and enjoy an evening dedicated to the sky, the surrounding landscapes and nocturnal nature.

Fabrice guides you through an accessible and friendly introduction to the constellations, stars and planets. Before night fully falls, the hill offers sweeping views across the Calavon Valley as far as Gordes.

As the evening unfolds, keep your eyes and ears open: owls, insects, bats and the sounds of the night accompany this gentle, contemplative experience. Settled comfortably on a blanket, all that remains is to listen to the guide and enjoy the magic of the starry sky.
