Charming town in Provence with character

Beautiful old streets to stroll through. You can feel history in every corner, for example the cinema is located in an old monastery. Mondays are market days.

The spectacular Pénitents were sculpted by erosion in the pudding, a rock made up of pebbles torn from the Alps during their elevation and dumped here by rivers over a period ranging from 2 to 12 million years. Legend has it that these are monks who were petrified because they turned around when beautiful Moorish women passed by...

Very spectacular hike above the cliffs of Les Mees, with great views. However, good sure-footedness (sturdy shoes) and a head for heights are absolutely necessary!

It's Forcalquier, not Fourcalquier 😅

Today, this special place is very lively and typically Provencal. Every Monday a local market is organized in the town, where you are at the right place for local specialties. Partly thanks to its favorable location in relation to both the beautiful area known as the Luberon with its countless beautiful towns, and the world-famous Gorges du Verdon, this place is an excellent holiday destination for a versatile holiday in Provence!
