"Manosque, Tour du Mont d'or, in Luberon Natural Park"

Between the Alps and the Vaucluse plain, the rounded silhouette of the Luberon stretches out, watching over Provence.
It owes its uniqueness to the mild climate, the harmonious landscapes and the wealth of flora to be found.

Here, each stone wall reveals Man's longstanding attachment to this land.In Neolithic times people were already living sheltered underneath its white rocks. Then warriors, traders and travellers used the Domitian Way, the most ancient roadway in France, which still crosses the Luberon. Meanwhile the farming community was growing in diversity : orchards, cereals and sheep.
In 1977 the Luberon Regional Natural Park was instituted to protect and promote this land where life is sweet, a territory covering some 1,650 km2. The work it carries out is in harmony with local traditions and places : re-opening old paths, renovating dwellings, protecting endangered species, etc.
