Forcalquier is in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, amid a landscape of hills, fields and Provençal villages. The town has an old centre around Place Saint-Michel, with narrow streets, stone façades and markets that shape local life. Les Ânes de Forcalquier is in the countryside, in the Luberon area, and suits travellers who want to alternate visits to villages with walks and time in the garden. The donkeys and forest trails also give the stay a rural character.

The nearby village of Mane brings together historic heritage and gardens. The Prieuré de Salagon houses a museum and gardens devoted to the region’s plants and traditional crafts. The Citadelle de Mane offers another place to visit, while Forcalquier lets you explore its narrow streets and the Notre-Dame-du-Bourguet Co-Cathedral. La Brillanne-Oraison railway station is 8 km away; Marseille Provence Airport is 71 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and Luberon sites, where distances between rural stops can be considerable.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks and garden visits, when temperatures are often milder. In summer, lavender fields and Provençal markets attract visitors; flowering times vary depending on the location and conditions that year. You could spend a day walking around Mane, visiting Salagon and taking a break in Forcalquier town centre. Further afield, the landscapes of the Valensole Plateau and the Verdon Gorge make day trips, with routes to be planned by car.
