Landscape and sky interpretation

At dusk, embark on a unique guided tour along the Saint-Jacques Hill, just above Cavaillon. After enjoying a breathtaking sunset over the Calavon valley and as far as Gordes, follow a scenic path with panoramic views and peaceful surroundings.

Along the way, you’ll stop to observe the Luberon's nocturnal wildlife — owls, bats, and insects. Once night falls, lie back on a blanket and enjoy a guided reading of the starry sky. Fabrice, our nature guide, will introduce you to the constellations and the secrets of the night sky using telescopes and spotting scopes, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Good to know: 

  • Avoid wearing white
  • Bring walking shoes, a water bottle, cap, and snacks or a picnic
  • Don’t forget a jacket — evenings can be cool

Book online at La Boutique Destination Luberon or at the Tourist Information Offices in Cavaillon, Gordes and Lourmarin.

  • Exceptional panoramic views over Cavaillon and the Calavon valley
  • A magical sunset experience
