Idyllically nestled into the Luberon mountain range is the quiet, quaint and quintessential village of Robion. Spend the morning watching your step on the cobbled lanes that wander past beautifully restored houses, around the original spring-cum-fountain -‘La Pompe’ and over to the 12th century Romanesque church.
A quick chilled beverage at the Café de la Poste before a quick puff up the hill to the ramparts of the medieval fortified village and feudal castle as you imagine days gone by.
Visit in July and August and you will be welcomed by the natural acoustics of the open-air theatre for performances and concerts as the sun slowly dims and polish the evening off in a gastronomic restaurant.
Congratulations! You are already in the ideal starting spot for hikes and cycle trails through the Luberon Regional National Park. Drives to equally beautiful villages buried in history, architecture, art and verdure and stunning luxury holiday rentals are also just on your doorstep.
