Saignon Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

Saignon is a surprising perched village. It is located on the edge of the Clarapèdes plateau. An eminence which culminates at an altitude of 821 meters near the Grand Luberon.

The center of the town with its Notre-Dame-de Pitié church, its square and its fountain, its small streets is extremely endearing.

Its laundry library adds a touch of originality to the place.

Exposed Singletrack Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Not for the faint-hearted: the trail is actually only S1, partly S2, but also very narrow in places and there is a pretty steep descent on the left. The scenery is beautiful, however, with views of the gorge and the valley.

Chemin des Crêtes to Mourre Nègre

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

As if in another world, you drive through the sparse vegetation of the rocky mountain ridge near the Mourre Nègre mountain peak. The distant views over Provence are beautiful. Depending on the time of year, you can see the blooming red poppy fields or the bright purple fields of lavender in the distance.

Combe Platte

Highlight • Other

Very steep trail. Downhill S1 to S2, in places S3. Very small.
Only Chuck Norris drives uphill here without pushing!
Pretty shady

Castellet in the Luberon

Highlight • Other

This village which means "the little castle" is located in the shade of the Grand Luberon: that is to say on its part least exposed to the sun, its north face. You are here very close to the main town of the Luberon: Apt.
