On this privately guided shore excursion from Marseille your private guide
will take you to discover one of the most picturesque areas of Provence, the
Luberon mountains. The region of these majestic peaks, more than 3,500 feet
above sea level, offer an endearing combination of lonely wild spaces and charming
little villages.
Much of the Luberon range is protected as a parkland, where you can find more
than 1,000 different species of plants and incredible oak and cedar forests
that are home to eagles, awks, snakes, beavers and the biggest lizards in Europe,
among other fauna.
Luberon was also the stage for the first battles between Catholics and Protestants
in the 16th century.
The first stop of this private custom tour will be the lovely town of Lourmarin,
where you will visit a stately Renaissance castle; you will then cross the
mountains to reach the town of Bonnieux, known for its 12th century ramparts
and church, from which you can enjoy a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape.
You will continue with your guide towards another charming town called Lacoste,
where you can visit the ruins of the Marquis de Sade Castle.
Your day will conclude in Roussillon, Provence’s most colorful village, with
its brilliant red and ocher cliffs.
