The Dentelles de Montmirail
Montmirail (Mons mirabilis) means the « admirable mountain» and this name is a right description of the place. Finely engraved by erosion, lace or dragon's teeth, the beautiful rock formations are prominently visible far across the plains to the North and the South, just like a true scupture going up to among 2500 feet. It’s the first overhang of the Alps in the Rhone Valley, but there the vegetation is typically Mediterranean, a kingdom for aromatic plants, oaks and pines of Alep. The vine, established on its sides, produces prestigious and famous wines.
You will also enjoy the Dentelles de Montmirail because of the large range of activities that they offer : stroll in typical villages perched on the mountainside, outside activities such as hiking, cycling, mountain biking, climbing. All tourist documentation is available in the Offices of Tourism of the area.

The Ventoux
The Mont Ventoux is a 6000 feet high conical peak,
visible from far across the surrounding countryside of Provence.
Listed “Reserve of Biosphere “ by UNESCO, the
“Giant of Provence” is exceptional for its flora
and fauna. Became mythical because of its cars and
cycles races, the Mont Ventoux is also famous for its paths,
which are a real paradise for hikers.
Strolling is also possible in a lot of superb villages perched
on its sides.. As a "frontier Mountain", the Mont
Ventoux amazes by the contrast between its southern side and
its northern side.
Water
Every drop of water is just like gold !
is an old provencal proverb. In the Vaucluse area, water is
abondant in various kinds: mysterious in the Fountain of Vaucluse,
salted in Malaucène, moderated with Sorgues (between
12 and 13°C all year long), whimsical like Toulourenc
or Ouvèze, tamed when it runs out of the fountains
of our villages.
