Between the Luberon and the Durance, in the heart of an exceptional natural heritage, La Roque-d'Anthéron is a real little corner of paradise in the heart of the Provencal valleys. Cultural, dynamic and authentic, this preserved jewel has enough to conquer the holidaymakers looking for a stay under the sun in harmony with nature.
A small village in the heart of the Bouches-du-Rhône department, 28 kilometres north of Aix-en-Provence, La Roque-d'Anthéron blossoms peacefully on the banks of the Durance river. Just a stone's throw from the Luberon Regional Natural Park, facing its first foothills, the village is surrounded by nature, an abundant, unspoilt nature, a paradise for hikers and botany enthusiasts, which reserves for its visitors wonderful contrasts mixing wild moors and elegant Provencal vegetation. In all, there are more than 120 kilometres of marked itineraries (on foot, but also by mountain bike, notably via the Luberon Temples Trail) that you will find on the territory of the commune, paths that will lead you along the Côtes mountain range and via the poetic and winding banks of the Durance river. In the hollow of thick forests, fragrant pine forests, lush scrubland, and thanks to more than 10,000 hectares of woods carpeted with Mediterranean species, all the unique beauty of Provence and this little corner of paradise will be offered to you. During these sometimes rather sporty outings, keen observers and bird-lovers will not fail to observe the 70 species of nesting birds that live in the area of La Roque-d'Anthéron. Tennis, local festivals, fishing, archery, amusement park for children (the Grimmland), horse riding and cycling will complete your visit to the village.
In addition to its undeniable natural side, La Roque-d'Anthéron is also a real paradise for culture. Its rich and varied heritage never fails to impress curious visitors and passing hikers throughout the year. To discover its beauty, head for the Romanesque chapel of Sainte-Anne de Goiron (11th century), before taking the time to stroll through the warm-coloured alleys. The baroque-style Saint-Louis church is also worth seeing, as is the French Lipizzaner Horse Conservatory, and the old Waldensian quarter, easily identifiable by its typical narrow streets, rebuilt after 1545. A must to see? The castle of Florans. Located in the heart of the city, it comprises a Small Renaissance-style Castle and a Large Castle, built during the 17th century, and is particularly renowned for its park and magnificent gardens. Finally, Silvacane Abbey is also a must see: impressive by the magnificence of its finely drawn lines, this 12th century building (1145) is one of the "Three Provençal Sisters" along with the Abbey of Sénanque (in Gordes), and the Abbey of Le Thoronet. A Cistercian abbey, it reveals to its lucky visitors superb sculptures, soothing lights and harmonious curves, drawn by its sublime arcades which give a unique character to this jewel of Cistercian art. Managed by the commune of La Roque-d'Anthéron since 2008, it hosts annual art exhibitions and numerous concerts, including the International Piano Festival of La Roque-d'Anthéron and the International String Quartet Festival of the Luberon, all of which highlight the splendour of the place and its grandiose acoustics.
