St-Martin-de-Castillon

Saint-Martin-de-Castillon is a village in the Vaucluse department, set on the lower slopes of the Luberon massif, between the Vaucluse plateau and the Calavon valley. This rural area, characterised by scrubland, lavender fields and terraced crops, offers a peaceful setting away from the busier tourist villages of the Luberon such as Gordes or Roussillon. Traditional dry-stone buildings, stone huts and bories bear witness to an old agricultural heritage, still visible on walks through the surrounding countryside. The commune is fairly extensive, made up of several hamlets scattered across a landscape of hills and woodland, ideal for hiking and exploring nature throughout the year. The region is known for its local produce, including lavender, honey, olive oil and Côtes du Luberon wine, all commonly found at nearby markets. The neighbouring town of Apt, a short drive away, provides easy access to shops, markets and everyday services. Saint-Martin-de-Castillon appeals to those seeking peace, nature and authentic Provençal life, away from the busiest tourist routes of the Luberon.
