A mosaic of cultures and colourful landscapes, Provence has a thousand treasures to offer, ranging from the stunning local scenery to distinctive architecture and century-old traditions. It is a myriad of lavender fields, steep canyons and mountains bathed in an iridescent golden glow. A landscape scattered with a Roman aqueduct, hill-top villages, sparkling fountains and lively markets. Who would not succumb to the charm of this region, whose delightful way of life has captured the hearts of many painters, poets and visitors alike?

Vaucluse
At the gateway to the Camargue, between Bouches du Rhône and Alpes de Haute Provence, Vaucluse, the French Tuscany, lays out its chameleon countryside of alluvial plains and snow-capped peaks.
A land of heritage and festivals, the most famous of which are the Avignon Festival of Theatre and the "Chorégies "in Orange, Vaucluse invites you to discover its museums, abbeys, châteaux and village markets.
It is a delightful journey through a land of human dimensions. Enjoy the different seasons, the colours, the scents, the wonderful restaurants, the culture, and the warmth of the welcome.

Saint-Trinit
The charming village of Saint-Trinit sits peacefully at the border of the Vaucluse and Alpes de Haute Provence areas, perfectly situated in the picturesque Sault countryside. Here the lavender fields extend as far as the horizon and offer an amazing view when in bloom: the vibrant blue of the flowers mingles with the golden cereal fields and the intense forest greens, creating a magical and unique setting.
At one with nature, the village seems to be living out of time.

Sault-en-Provence
A few kilometres from Saint-Trinit, Sault is located on the edge of a vast tree-lined plateau planted with fine lavender. It is a charming and quite pleasant health resort perched up at an altitude of 776 meters above sea level.
As a major halt of the Route de la Lavande (Lavender Road), it is a celebration place for the flower each year on August 15th: parade of flower-decked floats, trimming contest and of course local products display and marketing.
In this stunningly beautiful environment, a full range of outdoor activities can be enjoyed: starting point to various walks and hikes, horse riding ranch, chasms and potholes for cavers, etc.
Finally Sault is also famous for its traditional sweets a 100% natural (nougats, macaroons and lavender honey).

Mont Ventoux
Like a sentinel standing in the middle of plains and plateaux, the Mount Ventoux seems to be looking after the surrounding lands. From the mountaintop, there is a splendid panorama over the hilly area and the perched villages of the Sault Country, all the way to the plains of Comtat Venaissin and the Vaucluse Mountains. A very strong visual identity has turned him into a mythical place for the history of Provence.
It also is the ideal place for many kinds of sports, since you can choose to hike (in all its forms), ride mountain-bikes, drive quads, rock climb… and even ski: the northern side of the mountain shelters the oldest French ski-resort, dating back to the 1930's.

Le Lubéron
Between Durance and Mont de Vaucluse, the Pays du Luberon offers the spectacle of its hillside villages and châteaux, and its ochre cliffs, which make it a unique part of Provence. Here, the colourful landscape is far from monotonous. Vines and olive trees, lavender fields and the red earth of Roussillon are sketched in watercolours by artists from all over the world, following in the footsteps of Cézanne and Van Gogh.
Some of France's most beautiful villages and scenery are to be found in the Luberon Regional Nature Reserve. Gordes, Lourmarin, Ménerbes and Séguret are simply hymns to beauty.
Tjis land, bathed in light, which in the worlds of Henri Bosco, provides an incontestable "incentive for daydreaming", this world of colours and flavours is a very special place where the art of living comes first.

L'Isle sur la Sorgue
Situated on the Sorgue watershed, the "Comtat Venice" is a small town whose centre is squeezed between the arms of its river. It is interlaced with canals bordered by paddle wheels, a reminder of the old silk mills. In summer, floating markets carried small flat bottomed boats, work their way through town. The Sorgue is also a favourite spot for fly-fishing.
L'Isle sur la Sorgue is France's second largest town for antiques after Paris and in the space of a few years has become an attraction for connoisseurs from all over the world. There is a market every Sunday on the town quaysides. Some three hundred antique and bric-a-brac dealers of all kinds are open every weekend. There is also a large antiques fair four times a year, at All Saint's, Easters, Whitsuntide and around 15 August.
