Discover the region
Vaucluse, a destination blessed by nature

Plains with their farmland of orchards and olive groves, hillsides covered in woodland or planted with vines – tender and green in the spring, red after the harvest – plateaus striped in lavender, ochre landscapes… and rising above all: the Luberon, the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux.
Your next Provence adventure in this beautiful setting:
- Go by foot and enjoy the scents of thyme and lavender in the summer, broom in the spring, freshly picked olives in the autumn…
- Go by bike and sail freely down pathways while admiring the stretches of vines, fields of lavender, olive groves and poppy fields
- Go by mountain bike and breathe in the fresh mountain air at Mont Ventoux, hear the screech of your tyres on the Luberon’s ochre lands, and take advantage of the ridges and crests at the Dentelles de Montmirail
A land filled with history and stories

Elected by the Romans, chosen by the popes, praised by a number of poets and artists… Vaucluse has always been an attractive destination over the centuries. Today, the remains and monuments that bear witness to these eras contribute to the richness of Vaucluse.
Follow in the footsteps of the Romans in Vaison-la-Romaine where you can see the remains of 2 antique villages. In Orange, the Triumphal Arch and the Roman Theatre reflect the importance of their presence at the time.
In Avignon, the Popes’ Palace, overlooking the famous Pont d’Avignon, summarises the impact of the installation of the popes in this city in the 14th century.
In addition to these must-sees, as you explore, discover the legends inspired by geological particularities and the bories and chapels that line the hiking paths.
Vineyards and flavours

Varied, sun-drenched, healthy… We could certainly use these words to describe the flavours of Vaucluse. The Provençal land between the Rhône and the Durance is fertile. It is a land of vineyards – with prestigious appellations such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, AOC Côtes du Rhône and characterful AOCs like AOC Luberon and AOC Ventoux – it is an orchard, a vegetable garden, and an olive grove. It is the ideal land for truffles. A variety of farmland that shapes the landscapes traversed by hikers and cyclists.
Then comes the delight of the market – a necessary stop for all the foodies who enjoy the finer things in life – and finally, the genuine art that is Provençal cuisine which highlights local produce (melons, strawberries, cherries, olives etc.). And concerning the chefs, stars are certainly not lacking here!
