A discovery itinerary through the most beautiful and charming hill-top villages in Luberon, all sentinels of a time gone by. Our first stop will be in Lourmarin, one of the most beautiful villages in France and famous for its Renaissance castle, where you'll have free time to explore on your own. Next, there will be a great photo in Bonnieux, a picture-perfect Provençal village, on top of which stands a 12th-century church surrounded by century-old cedars. From there, appreciate a magnificent view of the Luberon. We continue to Roussillon through the roman bridge Pont Julien. Discover the colourful village of Roussillon - perched on the top of a cliff of old ochre quarries, the village is a painter's palette, a magical place where combinations of oxides give to the ochre an infinite variety of colours, which can be found in the landscape and on the facade of its houses. Finally, we reach Gordes, offering an extraordinary vision of a village erected on the cliff, with typical stone houses dominated by an imposing fortress castle and the church. This tour lasts about 6 hours.
