Discover the Luberon: medieval villages and bespoke holidays with Aura Provence

Medieval villages clinging to the rock, cobbled streets that have remained unchanged for centuries, ochre cliffs that set the landscape ablaze in Roussillon, and lavender fields stretching as far as the eye can see in summer. The Luberon is a Provence deeply rooted in its past, a place of ancient stones and the late-afternoon light on ochre-coloured façades. Gordes, Lourmarin, Bonnieux, Roussillon... so many villages that seem to have sprung from another century, and which take on a particularly enchanting, intimate medieval atmosphere in winter.

What to do in the Luberon with Aura Provence?

Private tours of Gordes and its dry-stone alleyways, walks through the 'Provençal Colorado' of Roussillon amidst the ochre cliffs, exploring Lourmarin and its Renaissance castle, hikes along paths winding through vineyards and lavender fields, wine and truffle tastings at little-known producers, and stays in private country houses and farmhouses away from the crowds.

Why choose Aura Provence to explore the Luberon?

Because the Luberon attracts many visitors, but few truly experience it. We know which villages are worth a visit out of season, the restaurants where you can eat as if you were dining with friends, and the producers who open their doors by appointment. As a local DMC agency, we'll take you to a Luberon untouched by the crowds, whatever the season.

Practical information about the Luberon

Spring and autumn are ideal for hiking and visiting markets. In summer, we prefer to visit early in the morning to enjoy the villages before the crowds arrive. And winter reveals a quiet, medieval Luberon, with its deserted narrow streets and golden light glinting off the stone, which few travellers have the chance to experience.
