Free time allows you to stroll among the fields and experience the essence of Provence.

Nestled beneath dramatic limestone cliffs, the village invites you to wander through narrow streets, discover artisan workshops, and enjoy beautiful viewpoints. A walk up to the Notre-Dame-de-Beauvoir chapel offers breathtaking panoramic views, while the famous golden star suspended above the village adds to its unique charm.
