Package holiday to Luberon

The Luberon in Haute-Provence is a hilly landscape of lavender fields, olive groves, vineyards, and honey-colored stone villages that cling like swallow's nests to rocky cliffs. The Luberon Regional Natural Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1997, stretches across the mountain range between Cavaillon and Manosque and embodies the Provence of one's dreams.

Gordes, with its stone terraces overlooking the valley, is among the most beautiful villages in France and served as the backdrop for Ridley Scott's 'A Good Year'. Roussillon shines in all shades of ochre — the former quarries of the Sentier des Ocres offer a surreal walk through red, orange, and yellow rock formations. Bonnieux, Ménerbes, and Lacoste (with the castle of the Marquis de Sade) line up like pearls on the northern side of the mountains.

The Luberon is the stronghold of Provençal lifestyle: weekly markets in Apt (Saturday), Lourmarin (Friday), and Coustellet offer lavender honey, goat cheese, Calissons, and local wines from the Luberon appellation. Peter Mayle's bestseller 'A Year in Provence' made the region famous among international readers. The lavender bloom in June and July transforms the Valensole plateau and the Sénanque and Silvacane abbeys into seas of violet. In autumn, the truffle season beckons. The Luberon is pure relaxation — a place where time seems to move more slowly.

Luberon particularly impresses with breathtaking nature, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
