6 km from Pertuis, 6 km from Cadenet, 10 km from Lourmarin An agricultural village on the banks of the river Durance, Villelaure has a rich historical heritage and is also blessed with superb natural assets. In the surrounding hills there is a botanical trail where you can revel in the scents and aromas of the region and the beauty of the Durance, whether you are on a mountain bike or on foot. In the village, the ancient sugar refinery, the castles – in particular the old castle – the church of Saint Marc, and the stone fountains all reflect the prosperous past of the village. |
