Villars (Vaucluse, France)
Villars is a small hilltop village in the Parc naturel régional du Luberon, set on a ridge offering clear views over the valley. The village retains a pretty medieval core of narrow streets and ochre stone, frequented by visitors seeking Provençal authenticity. There is a calm atmosphere, especially outside the high tourist season. Villars also serves as a practical base for exploring the natural sites and neighboring villages of the Luberon.
Patrimoine et histoire
The heart of the village features old stone houses and some remnants of traditional rural architecture. The église paroissiale and the façades provide an insight into local history without being monumental. The lanes invite leisurely strolls and sometimes reveal small shaded squares and vaulted passages typical of the region.
Nature et paysages
Villars overlooks landscapes of garrigue, hills and cultivated land. The panoramas over the Luberon and the surrounding countryside are clear in good weather. Mediterranean vegetation, with pines and oaks, alternates with agricultural plots where fields and olive groves are often seen.
Activités de plein air
The village is a starting point for sentiers de randonnée and cycling rides toward the Luberon massif. Hikes offer views of neighboring perched villages and the countryside. Nearby, it is easy to reach sites renowned for their scenery and walking routes.
