Lively village in the Luberon where you will find everything you need. Peasant bread, vegetables, honey, wine...

An emblematic place in Cucuron, a lively village all year round, the Place de l'Étang and its two-hundred-year-old plane trees offer an ideal setting to stop for a refreshing drink in the shade or have lunch on a terrace. On market days, the atmosphere is typical of the region.

Superb castle of Lourmarin

Cycle to the Donjon Saint-Michel in Cucuron, a striking medieval tower that offers a unique insight into the region’s history. This well-preserved fortress sits on a hilltop, offering stunning views of the surrounding Luberon landscape. Once you reach the donjon, take some time to admire its imposing structure and the breathtaking views of vineyards and olive groves that stretch into the distance.

Cadenet, a typically Provençal village, has a rich history dating back to medieval times. The village developed around its castle, the first traces of which date back to the 11th century. The castle played a defensive and strategic role on the trade route between Aix-en-Provence and Apt. Cadenet is also known for its production of wicker, historically used by local basket makers. Today, the village offers a diverse heritage, with remains of the castle offering a panoramic view of the Luberon.

Nice little village that you can come down to or the starting point for climbing over the mountain towards Apt.

André Estienne was born in Cadenet on October 13, 1777. During the Italian Wars, he was with General Bonaparte on the banks of the Alpone river in Arcole. On November 16, 1796, the French troops were blocked in front of the bridge of Arcole. With a small group of officers and soldiers, he blocked the river, bypassed the Austrian lines and beat his drum for the attack that contributed to Napoleon's victory. Napoleon awarded him his silver "drumsticks of honor" in 1801. In 1804, he was awarded the Legion of Honor. His portrait is engraved on the Arc de Triomphe and the Panthéon.

very beautiful and well-kept town.
