Our villages have the specifity of being either perched or built up against the mountains of Luberon and Monts de Vaucluse. All around the villages one can see olive trees, vineyards, Mediterranean forest or orchards. Each view is unique and offers a panorama on one of the most famous mountains of southern France: the Luberon, the Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Alpilles, sometimes even the Ste Victoire...
Each of our villages, all part of the Luberon Regional Natural Park, has preserved in its own way its historic center and its typical architecture... Bourgeois houses in center or Mas and Bastides (typical Provence old farms or mansions) in the countryside, cobbled alleys or flowery gardens, romantic ruins and perched churches, canal and old wells, mullion windows and old gates.
Two villages on our territory are listed among the beautiful villages of France: Gordes and Lourmarin. The village of Oppède le Vieux is recognized as' Remarkable Heritage Site '.
