Saumane-de-Vaucluse

Saumane-de-Vaucluse is a typical Provencal medieval village with narrow winding streets, beautiful stone houses and fountains as well as remains of the old ramparts.

Right at the top of the village there is an impressive fortified castle, Château de Saumane, which, at the time, belonged to the uncle of the very famous French author Marquis de Sade. The castle originates from the 12th century and has been restored in the 19th century. It is private property and unfortunately not open to the public.

From the top of the village there is a magnificent view of the surrounding verdant countryside.

At the other side of the castle a marked walking trail leads into the valley, and other pleasant paths lead into the forest. On the marked trail you will pass by a “bories house” and others can be seen between the trees on the hillsides of the valleys. These very old bories are round stone huts, built of flat lime stones and with very thick walls. They date back to the period of the Ligurians and the Celts. Not far from Saumane-de-Vaucluse, a little outside Gordes, there is an entire village of bories.
