Pertuis is a town in the Vaucluse, in the Durance Valley, south of the Luberon massif. Its centre combines old streets, squares, shops and markets, with the atmosphere of a lively Provençal town shaped by local life. The region attracts travellers looking to combine heritage, hilltop villages, vineyard landscapes and walks in the hills. By car, the roads provide easy access to the small towns and agricultural estates in the area.

In Pertuis, the Donjon and Saint-Nicolas Church offer a glimpse of the history of the old town; the statue of Mirabeau and Saint-Jacques Tower round out a stroll around town. Pertuis railway station is 3.4 km away. To discover the landscapes of the Luberon, Lourmarin and its château make for an outing among the village's narrow streets and historic rooms. Château Val Joanis, 3.0 km away, combines a wine estate with gardens. Marseille Provence Airport is 37 km away.

Spring and autumn are good times for walks and outings to the villages, when temperatures are milder. In summer, plan outdoor visits for early morning or late afternoon, then take a break in the shade or by the pool. Pertuis's markets are an opportunity to discover seasonal produce; the wine estates and roads of the Luberon also lend themselves to a day trip. In June and July, lavender in bloom colours some Provençal landscapes, while September marks the grape harvest in the vineyards.
