Lacoste is a hilltop village in the Luberon, in Provence, with stone lanes and old houses clinging to the slope. The château overlooking the village is associated with the Marquis de Sade; the surrounding paths cross dry hills, pine forests and cultivated land. The area suits travellers who prefer walks through villages and Provençal landscapes to large, lively resorts.

In the village, Musée SCAD Lacoste and the remains of the château offer a glimpse of local history and life. Ménerbes and Goult have more lanes to explore, viewpoints over the Luberon and places to discover wine estates. The Village des Bories, with its dry-stone buildings, bears witness to traditional rural techniques. Walkers can head to the Forêt de Cèdres or follow the ochre trails in the area. Cavaillon train station serves the region, but a car is useful for travelling between villages.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks, village visits and stops at vineyards; days are often milder than in midsummer. In summer, Provençal markets and long evenings on the terrace shape your stay, with more pronounced daytime heat. In June and July, lavender fields add colour to some parts of the Luberon. A day might combine a morning stroll through Lacoste, a heritage visit to Ménerbes and a return to the villa to enjoy the garden and swimming pool.
