Entrechaux (Vaucluse, France)
Entrechaux is a hilltop village in the Vaucluse, set on a hill overlooking the Vaucluse plain. It is best known for its medieval ruined castle that crowns the rock and offers wide views of the surroundings. The village retains narrow lanes, stone façades and a calm Provençal atmosphere, appreciated by visitors seeking tranquility. Its location makes it convenient as a base for exploring Vaucluse sites and nearby mountain ranges.
Heritage and history
The Château d’Entrechaux (remains from the 12th–14th centuries) dominates the village; one can distinguish elements of medieval fortification and panoramas over the valley. The town itself preserves old houses and passageways that reflect its rural history. Restoration efforts aim to protect these remains while keeping the site legible for walkers.
Nature and landscapes
From the castle viewpoint one can see the Vaucluse plain, the surrounding hills and, in clear weather, the nearby massifs. The surroundings include vineyards and the typical garrigue scrubland of the region. Provençal light highlights the ochres and dry stone walls.
Outdoor activities
The area is suitable for hiking, mountain biking and walks along small roads and trails. Routes allow reaching viewpoints or joining neighboring villages for half-day loops. It is also a quiet base for exploring the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux nearby.
Food and wine
Around Entrechaux you can find simple Provençal products: olives, oil, honey and wines from local appellations such as Côtes-du-Rhône. Small shops and guesthouse tables in nearby villages offer seasonal regional cuisine.
