Luberon

The Luberon is a massif of the Pre-Alps situated in Provence, straddling the departments of the Vaucluse and the Alpes de Haute Provence, 70km north of Marseille. Since 1977, the mountain range is located in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of the Luberon. The Luberon has become a spot emblematic of Haute Provence. Thanks to the many hilltop villages, chateaus, historic monuments and festivals, it attracts many tourists in quest of natural sites and cultural events.
