Provence towns
delightful destinations close to the Luberon
Close to the villages and vineyards of the Luberon are several delightful towns full of diversion and culture, all perfect for a day trip and none more than an hour away
Aix-en-Provence
Aix-en-Provence is a city that manages to pull off the trick of being at once elegant and exciting, with classical architecture and the youthful vigour of a large student population.
Avignon
Avignon’s take you back to medieval times and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also a lively town with the buzz of a world-famous arts festival in the summer.
Arles
Arles is famous for its Roman remains, which sit smack in the middle of town, and you can see it all on foot: Arles is a compact city that rewards careful exploration.
Les Baux-de-Provence
A spectacular stronghold with winding streets leading to the castle, and with the bonus of the Quarry of Lights attraction at its foot.
St-Remy-de-Provence
St Remy, encircled by plane tree-lined roads, is a swish town with chic addresses, full of charm, restaurants and interesting boutiques.
