Gargas is a village in the Luberon, in Vaucluse, surrounded by Provençal scenery of hills, vineyards and ochre earth. The surrounding countryside is a mix of country lanes, stone villages and wide-open views. This stop suits travellers who want to explore the region by car and combine walks, heritage and visits to villages.

The Bruoux Mines let you explore old galleries carved into the ochre. The Ochre Trail in Roussillon winds through cliffs and red- and yellow-coloured earth. The village of Roussillon is known for its colourful façades and narrow streets, while the bories, rural dry-stone buildings, bear witness to local traditions. The Ochre Museum and the Ochre Ecomuseum offer an insight into the history and production of this pigment. Marseille-Provence Airport is 49 km away; a car makes it easier to travel between these sites and the villages of the Luberon.

For a day of sightseeing, you can start with the galleries at the Bruoux Mines, then head to Roussillon and walk along the trail through the ochre landscape. Spring and autumn bring temperatures well suited to walks and excursions in the region. In summer, plan outdoor visits for early morning or late afternoon, when the light brings out the landscape’s colours. Markets and village festivals also mark the Provençal season.
