Vaucluse
The Vaucluse is the department symbol of the Provence. It has an important historical past, and genuine monuments and facts. The Ventoux mountain looks down upon the department, department dotted with small villages located in a high position, where you can appreciate
the work that many stone hewers maintained from generation to generation, up to day.
In the south of the department, you will arrive in the Lubéron, a hilly and wooded country which looks down upon the Durance and its cliffs of Ochre.
A little bit in the north of the area, Avignon, town of the popes, well-known for its festival, is also in the middle of a wine country.
Orange, best known town of the Haut Vaucluse, countains two monuments in the schedule of UNESCO world-wide heritage: the Roman Theatre and the Monumental Arc with its 3 doors, symbol of the roman imperialism glory.
The Vaucluse is famous for the genuineness of its architecture. It's a tasty and coloured real estate market, under the influence of the very close stones and ochres quarries.
