What to do in the Luberon Massif near our campsite?
Between the peaks of the Alpes de Haute Provence and the verdant plains of the Vaucluse, the Massif du Luberon, its Regional Park and hillside villages, is a life-size postcard of Provence.
In the south-east of France, far from the hustle and bustle of the bustling Côte d’Azur, the Lubéron Massif concentrates all the exuberance, perfumes, colors and gentle way of life of authentic Provence . While there are many different types of accommodation available in this region, camping in the Lubéron remains a preferred option.
The Montagne Bleue, as the poets like to call it, is a region with a glorious past and a generous, unspoilt natural environment. In the heart of the Parc Naturel du Lubéron, discover a unique natural, cultural and gastronomic heritage. From mountain passes to valleys, from hilltop villages to olive groves, solo, as a couple, with family or friends, the Lubéron can be enjoyed in the 250 days of sunshine every year.
Landscapes to explore
For hikers , horse-riders and mountain bikers, the Luberon region abounds in marked trails and itineraries.
Whether you’re a seasoned walker, a family with baby carriages or a person with reduced mobility, the Lubéron has a wealth of trails to suit all types of outings.
From every village, it’s easy to find a signposted itinerary that lasts from a few hours to a whole day, so let yourself be carried away by the charm of the Lubéron’s paths.
As for mountain biking, here again, seasoned sportsmen and women, or those who simply love the little queen, can set off to conquer a few passes or criss-cross the vineyards and undergrowth in search of a wide range of fragrances and to the song of the cicadas.
A heritage to discover
While the Lubéron region boasts an exceptional architectural heritage, it also harbors a veritable treasure trove: the Colorado Provençal in Roussillon. These former open-air ochre quarries offer a guaranteed change of scenery. This unique, listed and protected site, which can only be visited on foot, resembles a canyon. You’ll see every shade of ochre as you stroll along a signposted path. In the heart of the Lubéron, there’s not a village that doesn’t have its traditional Provencal market, where perfumes rival the sweetness of local fruit.
From the traditional village of Les Bories to the semi-troglodyte caves of Palais Saint Firmin, from theAbbaye de Sénanques to the Château de Gordes and the narrow streets of Apt. Lubéron offers a surprise at every step.
