Provence. The borders of the vast region are the mountains of the Haut-Alpes in the north, the Italian border in the east, the mediterranean coast between Marseille and Nice in the south and the Rhone delta in the west. In the mind of visitors normaly there are no crowded beaches or high alpine peaks, but lovely mountain villages, mediterranean landscapes and bright purple lavender fields. These original Provence landscape you can find mostly into the two departments Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhone.

Luberon is a long stretched hill on the north side of the Durance valley. Wine, fruits, vegetables and lavender are the main products of the area. For a long time this landscape could preserve its original coverage. Today the region is also discovered and occupied from tourists and rich citizanes. Luberon's historical significance was especially in the time of the persecution of the Vaudois, also called Waldenses.
