Troubadours
recount that after the Creation there remained, in the South of France,
a small virgin expanse without a name. The creator then brought together
in his hands everything that had served him earlier, orchards, mountains,
forests, water, and threw them down, saying : "Here will be the
Vaucluse".
"Oh, it's beautiful, this coveted Luberon, which stretches
from East to West, sometimes of rock, sometimes Tuscan, sometimes
emerald, sometimes mauve and gray"(Serge
Bec)
With all this diversity, you can discover
on foor, horseback or bicycle :
- The famous ochre quarries of the Provencal Colorado and Roussillon.
- Apt, its candied fruit and international market.
- Bonnieux and its cedar forest, superb viewpoint over a wild landscape.
- Gordes ,
classed as one of the most beautiful villages of France, its bories (stone
shepherds' huts).
- The "Giant of Provence", the Mont Ventoux presents
a diversity of landscapes and unique flora.
Sports activities are
not left out :
- Rock climbing at Buoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail.
- Canoeing and kayaking on the Sorgue, peace and coolness coming down from the Fontaine
de Vaucluse.
Hiking at all levels, for all ages.
By following the different GR paths you will explore landscapes of brilliant
colors. You will discover the tranquility of hilltop villages in the shade of
age-old sycamores, cool water from fountains and the serenity of the inhabitants,
all providing relaxing stops. |
