Tips
This old Provencal village of the Luberon spreads its houses, streets and fountains between the two monuments that mark the boundaries of the old town: the dungeon of St Michel and the Church of Our Lady of Beaulieu. The ramparts, their gates and their towers, the oil mill that presses olives in a cave, the church and the historic organ are some of the many examples of the architectural wealth of the village. Cucuron is a typical example of the urban planning of the Provencal Middle Ages with its construction in concentric circles around a rock overlooking the feudal castle, at the foot of which is the original troglodyte village of the 11th century.
