Discover the Vaucluse

With Avignon as its prefecture, the department of Vaucluse offers a mosaic of varied landscapes, a rich terroir, and a unique cultural diversity, making it an essential destination for lovers of Provence.

Landscapes of the Vaucluse

The Luberon is dotted with picturesque villages with evocative names: Gordes, Oppède, Ménerbes, Bonnieux, Lacoste, or Lourmarin. Each of them seems straight out of a postcard.

The Mont Ventoux, known as the "Giant of Provence," majestically watches over the region, offering breathtaking panoramas.

The Rhône Valley is home to exceptional vineyards, while the fertile plains of the Comtat Venaissin and the Pays des Sorgues, bathed in light, are crisscrossed by river branches and canals that nourish the land.

Towards Sault and the Albion Plateau, at the easternmost edge of the department between Mont Ventoux and Montagne de Lure, grows the most delicately scented lavender, amidst dreamlike landscapes.

Historical and Cultural Riches

Avignon, the famous City of the Popes and its world-renowned Festival, attracts attention from all over the world. But Vaucluse is also home to other treasures: the city of Orange, with its rare Roman theater, the remains of Vaison-la-Romaine, as well as Carpentras, Cavaillon, Apt… Every corner of this department speaks of its rich and fascinating past.

Authenticity and Terroir

Beyond its cities, Vaucluse reveals itself in its villages and the diversity of its landscapes. The Abbey of Sénanque, surrounded by lavender, embodies the authenticity of this land. The terroir of Vaucluse, both fertile and generous, gives birth to incomparable fruits, vegetables, and wines. The Provençal markets are full of local products, and the vineyards, such as those of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas or Vacqueyras, produce world-renowned wines. In Richerenches, each January, the largest truffle market in the region attracts connoisseurs in a festive and warm atmosphere.

Explore the Vaucluse, where natural beauty, history, and gastronomy come together to reveal the very essence of Provence.
