Malaucène is a village in Vaucluse at the foot of Mont Ventoux, amid the landscapes of inland Provence. Its narrow streets and village houses make a natural starting point for discovering the hills, vineyards and small towns in this part of the département. The area attracts hikers and cyclists, but also suits travellers who want to alternate walks with heritage visits. The pace of outings changes with the seasons: summer days are well suited to activities at higher altitudes, while spring and autumn bring pleasant temperatures for walking.

In the village, Porte Chaberlin and Saint-Michel Parish Church bear witness to the local heritage. Malaucène centre is 1.1 km away. The trails of ENS La forêt départementale du Groseau cross a wooded natural area 2.7 km away. Further afield, Château du Barroux overlooks the village of the same name and offers a glimpse into the area's history. Vaison-la-Romaine adds ancient remains, a Roman bridge and a cathedral to your excursions. Carpentras railway station is 15 km away; a car makes it easier to travel between villages, trails and historic sites.

For an active day, you can spend the morning hiking or cycling on the roads around Mont Ventoux, then return to the narrow streets and landscapes of Malaucène in the late afternoon. In summer, it is best to plan physical activities early in the day and take water with you. In spring and autumn, the paths and village visits are well suited to longer outings. Provençal markets and the surrounding wine estates also offer a chance to discover the produce and flavours of Vaucluse.
