  • Discover the geological heritage of the Luberon Regional Nature Park, UNESCO Global Geopark through major geosites, museums and itineraries.

    To help visitors better explore and understand the Luberon area, we have selected 50 geosites within the Geopark which we believe have particularly outstanding features. The geosites offer visitor facilities like parking, information panels and trails.

    Join us on a journey to discover the mosaic of landscapes, villages perched on hilltops, rocks, fossils and other geological curiosities that demonstrate the strong links uniting man to the Earth.
