Aurel is a small village in the Vaucluse, amid the landscapes of the Albion plateau, with open fields, wooded hills and lavender-growing land. The area has a rural feel, with country roads and scattered hamlets. Travellers who enjoy peaceful stays, walks and exploring at their own pace will find it quite different from the busy resorts of southern France. The village of Sault, known for its lavender landscapes, is another local landmark.

The surrounding area is best explored by car or bicycle, using the roads that connect the villages and natural sites of the Vaucluse. In Aurel, Saint-Aurèle Church is a heritage stop on a walk through the village. The Vallon des Lavandes and Aroma’plantes distilleries offer an introduction to the skills associated with aromatic plants. In Sault, the municipal museum and the Centre de découverte de la nature et du patrimoine cynégétique offer visits focusing on the local area. Mont Ventoux dominates the region’s horizons and attracts hikers and cyclists. A car makes it easier to travel between the towns and reach nearby railway stations.

Lavender colours the landscape in summer, with flowering particularly sought after from late June to July, depending on the season’s conditions. A day might combine a stroll through Sault’s lanes, a visit about local plants and a scenic drive along the plateau roads. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often better suited to hiking and cycling. The terrain around Mont Ventoux means you should bring suitable clothing, as conditions change with altitude.
