The fauna and flora there are rich and varied, it offers a breathtaking spectacle. Birds of prey soar in the azure sky given by the Mistral and wild boars, foxes and badgers hide in the woods and bushes.

Lubéron

In the folds of the Luberon, nature rises and expands with wild grace. The massif, once the territory of men and beasts, still reveals today the traces of their passage and their trials. From rough rocks to jagged peaks, from impenetrable forests to swirling waterfalls, from crystal-clear springs to fields of winding olive trees, a symphony of shapes and colors is composed that captivates the soul as much as the senses.

Here, nature has kept its secrets, its mysteries and its silences. She is both mother and muse, strength and fragility, balance and disorder. The birds nest and the butterflies burst forth brightly. The steep paths, the deep gorges, the sunburned plateaus, the buried valleys, this land invites exploration, discovery and wonder.

The Lubéron is a sanctuary, a place of life and death, a witness to history. Both anchored in the earth and open to the sky, it is the quintessence of Provence, its beauty, its harshness and its poetry. It is the memory of the men who knew how to shape it, protect it, sublimate it. It is the refuge of those who seek truth, wisdom, simplicity. It is the jewel of an unforgettable landscape, which invites contemplation, love and hope.
