Forcalquier is a small town in Haute-Provence, surrounded by hills and dry landscapes where villages, olive groves and limestone terrain alternate. Its old town can be explored on foot among lanes, squares and Provençal façades. La Maison des Chapitres is in the historic area, near Notre-Dame-du-Bourguet Co-Cathedral and the Couvent des Cordeliers. The atmosphere is that of a town enlivened by its markets and walks, rather than a large city; it suits travellers who want to discover inland Provence at a leisurely pace.

Notre-Dame-de-Provence Chapel, on the citadel, overlooks the rooftops and offers a panorama of the surrounding countryside. Les Rochers des Mourres, 2.1 km away, are a landscape of curious limestone formations that you can explore on foot. Salagon Museum and Gardens, in Mane, showcase the region’s heritage and plants. The Provençal market and the gardens in the centre also offer ways to break up a day of sightseeing without leaving town. La Brillanne-Oraison railway station is 9 km away; Marseille-Provence Airport is 72 km away. The property has no parking.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for walks through the villages and landscapes of Haute-Provence, with temperatures often milder than in high summer. The lavender season brings the region to life around late June and July, depending on the fields and the conditions each year. You can spend the morning at the market, then head up to the citadel or explore the formations at Les Rochers des Mourres. In summer, plan outdoor walks for the morning or late afternoon, when the Provençal heat eases.
