The landscape around you feels wide open, with lavender fields, dry hills, bright expanses and views of a famous mountain crowned by a white summit.<\/p><p>The name &#8220;les Bains&#8221; comes from the natural hot springs that have long been used for relaxation and spa treatments. The village is therefore both a historic place to explore and a destination devoted to well being.

From the towers, the view opens onto orchards, fields and the great mountain visible in the distance.<\/p><p>The most remarkable monument is the ancient baptistery, a rare religious building once used for the baptism of the first Christians. Inside, its central basin, marble columns and carved details reveal an architecture far older and very different from that of a typical church. Much of Venasque&#8217;s appeal comes from this combination of spectacular setting, stone lanes and traces of a very distant past.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/AR68PNH8dXoGLZ2w7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=venasque&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Venasque\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66e9afd container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"66e9afd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b8ac91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4b8ac91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Simiane-la-Rotonde<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0c4a0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f0c4a0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simiane-la-rotonde-provence.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-57856\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simiane-la-rotonde-provence.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simiane-la-rotonde-provence-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simiane-la-rotonde-provence-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simiane-la-rotonde-provence-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2d67c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b2d67c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In Simiane la Rotonde, you discover a hilltop village surrounded by lavender landscapes, dominated by a great circular tower.

Around you, the hills, fields and dry light create a sense of vast open space. The great round tower can be visited, and its interior impresses with its powerful proportions, carved columns and stone dome. From the terrace, the view stretches across the surrounding hills and fields.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/PAFkiqNbVsi9S73f7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=simiane-la-rotonde&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Simiane-la-Rotonde\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia (Fr)<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1276733 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1276733\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1264ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a1264ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fontaine-de-Vaucluse<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94dc41f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"94dc41f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fontaine-de-vaucluse-provence.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-57846\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fontaine-de-vaucluse-provence.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fontaine-de-vaucluse-provence-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fontaine-de-vaucluse-provence-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fontaine-de-vaucluse-provence-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e0e8b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e0e8b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In Fontaine de Vaucluse, you discover a village set at the bottom of a valley enclosed by towering cliffs.

Baux de Provence is a spectacular village perched on a rocky spur. With only a few hundred residents, it still overlooks one of the most iconic landscapes in Provence, a sea of vineyards, olive trees, and limestone rocks swept by the mistral wind. The village is literally built into the stone, so the houses seem to rise straight out of the rock, creating a unique mineral landscape.<\/p><p>The site first impresses you with its steep relief and with the presence of the citadel of Les Baux, a real eagle\u2019s nest dominating the valley. From the ruins of the castle, you can see far across Provence, and on a clear day you can even glimpse the Mediterranean. This strategic position explains why the village used to have such strong military and political importance. Even today, the outline of the fortifications and the remains of the castle remind you of the major defensive role of this rocky promontory.<\/p><p>The narrow cobbled streets invite you to wander around. As you walk through the village, you discover remarkable architecture, old houses, vaulted passages, and small squares that show the rich history of Les Baux. Even though the village is small, it feels monumental, partly because of the pale stone that is typical of the Alpilles.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/CFMrDPtnWHwUhaTX7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=baux-de-provence&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Les_Baux-de-Provence\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e0b875 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5e0b875\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f91a1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0f91a1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Miramas le Vieux<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7b7b3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a7b7b3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/miramas-le-vieux.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-57851\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/miramas-le-vieux.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/miramas-le-vieux-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/miramas-le-vieux-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/miramas-le-vieux-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e29f194 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e29f194\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Perched on a hill overlooking a lake, Miramas le Vieux is the historic heart of the town of Miramas. This small Proven\u00e7al village, set apart from the modern town and the industrial area around it, has kept an authentic, peaceful feel that really stands out from the more urban landscapes along the edge of the lagoon. People have lived in this region since Neolithic times, and its long history has been shaped by fishing and by the gradual growth of villages on the limestone hills around the water.<\/p><p>The old village is built around a maze of narrow lanes, vaulted passageways, and old houses packed closely together. As you wander through these little streets, you come across a typically Proven\u00e7al heritage, pale stone facades, steep stairways, and quiet little squares where you can enjoy the mild climate. The peaceful atmosphere makes you want to stroll around and notice all the architectural details that show just how old the place is.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/8fajvfeNEhz8uxGi8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=miramas+le+vieux&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Miramas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia (Fr)<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c0bb23 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7c0bb23\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c657d52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c657d52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Le Castellet<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c7393f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4c7393f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/castellet-village.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-54273\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/castellet-village.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/castellet-village-300x121.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/castellet-village-1024x411.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/castellet-village-768x308.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d23398 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3d23398\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">In Our Expanded Picks<\/span>\u00a0 \u2611\ufe0f<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Altitude<\/span>\u00a0 240m (790ft)<\/p><p>Perched between the hills and the sea, Le Castellet offers a wonderfully concentrated picture of old Provence.

The old defensive walls, the castle and the 12th century church give the village a distinctive and highly photogenic silhouette.<\/p><p>From the heights, the views open up in every direction.

This distinctive colour gives the village a striking, almost mysterious atmosphere, especially when the southern sunlight catches the walls.<\/p><p>In the centre, you&#8217;ll find a very old church surrounded by houses packed closely together. Higher up, the massive remains of an old watchtower recall the days when the site was used to keep an eye on the surrounding countryside.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a

Clinging to the side of a hill, this dry stone village overlooks the valley and gives you an amazing panorama over the landscapes of the Vaucluse. The houses, built with pale stones taken from local quarries, rise in terraces around the rock, creating a spectacular silhouette that\u2019s one of the iconic images of the region. This dramatic setting explains a lot of the village\u2019s tourist appeal, especially in summer.<\/p><p>The village is organized around a network of narrow, winding streets that weave between old houses. As you walk through them, you discover typically Proven\u00e7al heritage, sun-worn fa\u00e7ades, shaded little squares, and terraces looking out over the valley.<\/p><p>With its spectacular panorama, stone architecture, and still-vibrant rural traditions, Gordes perfectly captures the image of a hilltop Proven\u00e7al village in the heart of the Luberon.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/JvarHABhDxWYAp446\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=gordes&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gordes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a42489 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1a42489\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec583ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ec583ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Roussillon<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40c57c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"40c57c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/viewpoint-over-roussillon.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-29985\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/viewpoint-over-roussillon.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/viewpoint-over-roussillon-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/viewpoint-over-roussillon-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/viewpoint-over-roussillon-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21004d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21004d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">In Our Expanded Picks<\/span>\u00a0 \u2611\ufe0f<\/p><p>Nestled in the heart of the Luberon, the village of Roussillon is one of the most unusual places in Provence. Here, the landscape and the architecture blend into one, the village really looks like it rises straight out of the coloured earth it was built on.<\/p><p>The houses show off a whole range of warm shades, red, orange, ochre and pink, all coming directly from the natural pigments taken from the nearby quarries since the end of the 18th century. This presence of ochre gives the whole place an almost unreal atmosphere, made even more striking by the Proven\u00e7al light, which makes the facades glow all day long.<\/p><p>And only a few minutes away on foot, thers is the Ochre Trail. Set out through former quarries, this path takes you past cliffs and landscapes shaped by erosion, revealing every shade of the natural pigments. It is easy to walk and lets you get a close look at these amazing formations, the ones that made the site famous and explain the village\u2019s very special identity.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/G7Dw9RTjyd3Wot278\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=roussillon+vaucluse&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roussillon,_Vaucluse\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0bb15d2 container-h3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0bb15d2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4130833 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4130833\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Opp\u00e8de le Vieux<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e0a886 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7e0a886\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-oppede.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-30136\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-oppede.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-oppede-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-oppede-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-oppede-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8017278 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8017278\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the Luberon, the commune of Opp\u00e8de is actually made up of two separate villages: Opp\u00e8de les Poulivets, down on the plain, and Opp\u00e8de le Vieux, up on the hillside, one of the famous perched villages of the Luberon.<\/p><p>Opp\u00e8de le Vieux has a very distinctive atmosphere that really brings its past back to life. Even though the village has been carefully restored in recent years, for a long time it was seen as an abandoned village after the 19th century. In spite of all that renovation, it has still kept a lot of its old world charm.<\/p><p>One of the best parts of your visit is just wandering through its little streets. Asphalt still has not made its way up into the upper part of the village: the paths are either paved with stones or simply left as dirt tracks, which makes the whole place feel even more authentic, like you are stepping back in time.<\/p><p>One of the main sights you should not miss is the Notre Dame d\u2019Alidon collegiate church, which stands above the village. Part of its restoration is funded by the Opp\u00e8de Festival, a cultural event held every year over four days, usually at the end of July or the beginning of August. Theatre, comedy, and music all come together there.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/dA1MVTXXKMeikbFQ8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=opp\u00e8de+le+vieux&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Opp\u00e8de\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9033150 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9033150\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7194ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a7194ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">M\u00e9nerbes<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38f578b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"38f578b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-menerbes.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-30097\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-menerbes.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-menerbes-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-menerbes-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-menerbes-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f2d08f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f2d08f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">In Our Expanded Picks<\/span>\u00a0 \u2611\ufe0f<\/p><p>Perched on a steep rocky outcrop in the Luberon, M\u00e9nerbes looks like a long fortress village overlooking the Proven\u00e7al landscape. It stretches along the top of the hill, with a distinctive silhouette you can spot from far away. Before the peak tourist season arrives, the village feels almost sleepy, wrapped in the peaceful atmosphere that\u2019s so typical of inland Provence. But as soon as the weather turns nice, it draws plenty of visitors who come to admire one of the loveliest villages in the Luberon.<\/p><p>What really wins you over in M\u00e9nerbes is taking the time to wander through its little streets. The old houses, packed tightly along the ridge, reflect its defensive past and long history. As you make your way through the narrow lanes, you come across spectacular views over the surrounding countryside, with vineyards, olive groves, and rolling hills.<\/p><p>Over time, the village also attracted a lot of artists. Famous visitors included painters like Nicolas de Sta\u00ebl and Pablo Picasso. Picasso even had a special connection to M\u00e9nerbes, he gave a house there to his lover and muse Dora Maar as a parting gift when they split up. That story says a lot about the village\u2019s role as a haven for artists and intellectuals drawn in by the light and the quiet of Provence.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/aY3yCwJJNc73Lz3T6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=m\u00e9nerbes&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/M\u00e9nerbes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f68b12 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6f68b12\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9deb56d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9deb56d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lacoste<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45e24e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"45e24e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-lacoste.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-31268\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-lacoste.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-lacoste-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-lacoste-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/streets-lacoste-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34f7efc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"34f7efc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Perched on the foothills of the Luberon, looking out toward the village of Bonnieux, Lacoste is one of those Proven\u00e7al villages whose charm comes as much from its history as from its unique atmosphere. Its narrow cobbled streets wind their way between old stone houses up to the highest part of the village, overlooked by the ruins of the ch\u00e2teau. The ch\u00e2teau is closely tied to the story of the Marquis de Sade, who settled there in the 18th century and stayed for several years after the various scandals that marked his life.<\/p><p>Over time, the ch\u00e2teau became the symbol of the village. It was abandoned for a long time, then found a new life when the fashion designer Pierre Cardin became its owner at the beginning of the 21st century. He launched an arts festival there, held in the quarries around the ch\u00e2teau, keeping alive a cultural tradition that is now deeply rooted in the local landscape.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/3hR5nfqUpwrRnBVh6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=lacoste+vaucluse&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lacoste,_Vaucluse\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ee3427 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0ee3427\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c87a649 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c87a649\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lourmarin<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcf395c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dcf395c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/village-lourmarin.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-31027\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/village-lourmarin.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/village-lourmarin-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/village-lourmarin-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/village-lourmarin-768x308.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c29a2f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c29a2f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Set at the entrance to the valley that cuts through the Luberon range, the village of Lourmarin holds a strategic spot because it stands at the end of the only natural passage through the Luberon.

Today, you can recognize the village by the outline of its three bell towers.<\/p><p>The village was abandoned in the 14th century, then repopulated, and over time it grew into a lively and much visited place.

After being abandoned during the Revolution, the building was saved at the beginning of the 20th century and turned into a foundation created to host artists. Even today, the ch\u00e2teau welcomes musicians and creators in residence, and regularly hosts concerts and exhibitions.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/RtEtWxp1ifGoh4BA8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=lourmarin&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lourmarin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebd1e5f container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ebd1e5f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0bf967 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e0bf967\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cucuron<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4047316 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4047316\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pond-cucuron.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-31198\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pond-cucuron.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pond-cucuron-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pond-cucuron-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pond-cucuron-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a340547 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a340547\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tucked away in the southern Luberon, the village has kept its traditional character and that gentle way of life that\u2019s so typical of the region.<\/p><p>The heart of Cucuron is built around the feature that makes it so distinctive, the \u00c9tang de la Bonde, more simply known as the Cucuron pond, a large pool of water lined with majestic plane trees.

gives you the striking picture of an old town clinging to its natural landscape. What you notice first is a tight maze of rooftops and a real labyrinth of narrow streets, typical of medieval Proven\u00e7al towns, spreading out at the foot of the huge fortress overlooking the valley. Facing the town, you also see a massive limestone cliff that makes the whole setting even more dramatic.<\/p><p>Even though the area was hit by heavy bombing in August 1944, Sisteron has managed to preserve most of its historic heritage. Today, the old town, the cathedral, and above all the citadel are its main attractions. These monuments remind you of its historic role as a stronghold controlling access to the Alpine valleys and to Provence.<\/p><p>At the foot of the town, the banks of the river give you a relaxing spot to unwind, with a leisure lake set up for summer swimming and outdoor activities, all while enjoying a lovely view of Sisteron\u2019s silhouette and its citadel.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/K3m4LaA5WBySkcq68\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=sisteron&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sisteron\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa01937 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fa01937\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d71747 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7d71747\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Moustiers-Sainte-Marie<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8932cde elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8932cde\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moustiers-provenc-e.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-58305\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moustiers-provenc-e.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moustiers-provenc-e-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moustiers-provenc-e-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moustiers-provenc-e-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d39ecc2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d39ecc2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">In Our Top Picks<\/span>\u00a0 \u2705<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Altitude<\/span>\u00a0 640m (2,100ft)<\/p><p>You\u2019re right in the heart of the Verdon canyon when you arrive in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, one of the most iconic villages in Provence. The village clings to the mountainside and sits beneath the chapel of Notre Dame de Beauvoir, looking almost suspended between the sky and the rock, with a spectacular setting that perfectly reflects the Alpine landscapes of Provence.<\/p><p>As you walk through the village, you move along a maze of cobbled streets, small shaded squares, and old washhouses that quietly tell the story of its past and the gentle rhythm of local life. A river runs through the village and is crossed by several small humpback bridges, adding even more charm to the picturesque scenery. The atmosphere feels authentic and almost timeless, which is exactly why so many visitors fall in love with the place.<\/p><p>Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is also famous for its long tradition of faience pottery, an art that has shaped the village\u2019s identity for centuries.

On a clear day, you can even catch a glimpse of the Corsican peaks, a rare, dizzying sight. The village has kept a strong medieval feel, with a 13th-century church, narrow little streets with charming names, vaulted passageways, wrought-iron signs, and roofs weighed down with stones to resist the mistral winds, all signs of a tough, vibrant rural past.<\/p><p>But Mons isn\u2019t just about the Middle Ages, it\u2019s also a prehistoric site. A Megalith Trail takes you to no fewer than 11 ancient monuments, including the Riens dolmen, just 1.5 km from the village.

For a long time, it was an important pilgrimage site, and it houses a miraculous Virgin statue as well as a magnificent fully gilded baroque altar.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/TkMA74DPbVZRXPPL9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/search?q=bargemon&amp;udm=2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Images<\/a><\/p><p>\ud83d\udcdc <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bargemon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia (Fr)<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb25ff1 container-h3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bb25ff1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e21aeb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e21aeb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ch\u00e2teaudouble<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e48e4e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e48e4e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chateaudouble-village.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-54276\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chateaudouble-village.webp 1200w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chateaudouble-village-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chateaudouble-village-1024x410.webp 1024w, https:\/\/culturefrancia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chateaudouble-village-768x307.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18d3954 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18d3954\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Altitude<\/span>\u00a0 500m (1640ft)<\/p><p>Ch\u00e2teaudouble is a tiny hamlet clinging to the cliffside, overlooked by an old watchtower and facing dramatic gorges.
