Vaucluse en Provence
Le Vaucluse, c’est …
Contempler avec des yeux d’enfant les paysages bleu lavande, rouge et or flamboyants dans les carrières d’ocre de Roussillon ou le Colorado provençal, vert intense dans les forêts du Luberon, autour du Ventoux, avec ces champs vignes qui jalonnent les plaines et coteaux,
Savourer cette Provence qui, de marchés en fêtes de terroir, des fraises aux truffes, en passant par l’asperge, le melon, la figue, l’huile d’olive, les tomates, abricots, l’ail, les herbes aromatiques et ses 3 AOC Côtes du Rhône, AOC Ventoux et AOC Luberon, ont donné au Vaucluse le titre de « Jardin de la France »,
Flâner dans les villages de caractère, parfois perchés, aux ruelles caladées avec leurs petites maisons de pierre sèche ou leurs façades colorées, leurs places ornées de fontaines et lavoirs, leurs beffrois surmontés de campaniles en fer forgé,
Plonger dans l’histoire des Romains qui ont bâti ici des villes et édifices majestueux, des Papes, qui ont laissé leur empreinte d’Avignon aux plus petites cités de la région, des Juifs du Pape dont les synagogues médiévales sont de superbes témoignages, des hommes et femmes anonymes, qui au cours des siècles, ont façonné les paysages avec des cités de pierre, des ouvrages d’architecture uniques tels les bories ou le Mur de la Peste, les châteaux et forteresses,
Ecouter et vivre les fêtes, festivals, dans le tumulte joyeux du festival d’Avignon, sous les étoiles pour un opéra aux Chorégies d’Orange, dans les vignes pour un concert de jazz, ou au détour d’une rue, pour un spectacle de théâtre de plein air,
S’évader en balades à vélo et à pied, de journées les pieds dans l’eau avec le canoë ou en pauses baignade, de sorties nature en grimpe d’arbres ou escalade à flanc de rocher,
Aller à la rencontre des vignerons, artisans d’art maraîchers… Ces hôtes qui vous accueillent, vous font partager la passion de leur métier et cet amour de leur pays.
Le Vaucluse, c’est… L’Art de vivre en Provence, tout simplement.
