Between Forcalquier and Villeneuve

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The section between Forcalquier and Villeneuve is one of the absolute highlights of a Luberon tour! To the right is the Grand Luberon - to the left the view goes towards the Maritime Alps. Well signposted, almost no cars. And if you set off from Forcalquier in the morning, you can enjoy the wonderful morning atmosphere on this path - always slightly downhill... :-)

Forcalquier

Highlight • Settlement

Forcalquier is located between the Lure mountain and the Luberon, on the edge of the Via Domitia and is quite close to the Alps which can be distinguished when you rise above the town.

Its name means "Lime Kiln". The Citadel, in the center of the city, is a set of fortifications, topped by the Notre-Dame-de-Provence chapel.
The old town dates back to the 13th century for some residences. Its rich architecture is made up of narrow streets and squares. A very interesting and interactive museum with the world of perfumes as its theme is located in Forcalquier. For more information visit this website: artemisia-museum.fr
