The Location

Cucuron is a great Provence village, combining fantastic looks, medieval history and charm with all the amenities you need: bakeries, butchers, grocery store, bank, cafes and restaurants, and even a Michelin-starred restaurant (La Petite Maison).

 Market day in Cucuron.

At the centre of the village of Cucuron is its huge water basin surrounded by centuries-old plane trees, which you may remember from the film 'A Good Year'. This is where the weekly market takes place, and is also home to restaurants and cafes.

 

The basin (bassin) of Cucuron is the natural focal point of the village, it is where the market is held and where you can eat under the towering plane trees.

Cucuron is surrounded by vineyards and stunning Provence countryside, with the Luberon mountain on its north side. It is very close to other beautiful Luberon villages - Lourmarin, Bonnieux, Ansouis, Cadenet, La Tour d'Aigues - and 35 minutes from Aix en Provence.

Cucuron leaves you feeling well rested. 
The remains of the 14th century castle stand over Cucuron.

Five minutes away from Cucuron is the Etang de la Bonde (pictured below right), a big swimming lake with sandy beach. Cucuron also has communal tennis courts.

Cucuron is set in the vineyards at the foot of the Luberon mountain. 
Swimming at L'Etang de la Bonde is 5 minutes away.
