Montbrun-les-Bains

Nestled in the heart of the Baronnies Provençales Regional Natural Park, Montbrun-les-Bains is ranked among the most beautiful villages in France.

This medieval village, perched on a hill facing Mont Ventoux, is especially renowned for its thermal baths with their beneficial waters, rich in sulfur and trace elements.

Its center is 2.5 km from La Maison de Marguerite, easily accessible in a few minutes.

Montbrun-les-Bains is also located on the Lavender Route, an enchanting route that comes alive between mid-June and mid-July, when the fields turn purple and fill the air with an unforgettable fragrance.

The Baronnies Regional Natural Park

The Baronnies Provençales Regional Natural Park offers a mosaic of wild and luminous landscapes, between limestone cliffs, oak forests, olive groves, and lavender fields.

It is a paradise for hikers, cyclists, and lovers of unspoiled nature. Among the must-sees, the Albion and Sault plateaus reveal spectacular panoramas throughout the seasons, punctuated by authentic villages and wide open spaces where a profound calm, typical of Provence, reigns.

The Toulourenc Valley

In the heart of the hills between Montbrun-les-Bains, Vaison-la-Romaine, and Nyons lies a discreet but oh-so-magical valley, cradled by the turquoise waters of the Toulourenc at the foot of Mount Ventoux.

This valley is home to small villages where you can let your wanderlust guide you: Savoillan and its art and culture attractions, Brantes and its cobbled streets and gourmet spots, St Léger du Ventoux and its unusual bookstore, Entrechaux and its castle, the hamlet of Veaux for a stroll with your feet in the water, and Mollans sur Ouvèze for a beautiful ending!

The lavender route

From Sault to Valensole in the Hautes Alpes, discover landscapes in multiple shades of blue created by lavender in our region from mid-June to the end of July.

Passing through the Albion plateau, the Lavender Route takes you through the villages of Ferrassières, Banon (and its large bookstore), and Simiane la Rotonde.

You can also go as far as Manosque and its famous Valensole plateau.

Visits to farms and distilleries are organized regularly. A detour to Aroma Plantes in Sault is a must!
