Mourre Nègre, Highest summit of Luberon in Vaucluse, France.
Mourre Nègre rises to an elevation of 1125 meters, featuring a rounded peak topped with a radio antenna that serves as a regional communication relay point.
The mountain paths of Mourre Nègre have served as essential routes for shepherds crossing the Luberon massif with their flocks through many generations.
The mountain stands within the Luberon Regional Park, established to protect the local biodiversity and preserve the natural heritage of the Provence region.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit, including the GR9-97 and GR92, with an elevation gain of 600 to 700 meters from any starting village.
From the summit, visitors can observe an extensive panorama encompassing both the Sainte-Victoire mountain range and Mont Ventoux in clear weather conditions.

Between gentle mountains and stone villages, Luberon encompasses everything that Provence has to offer in its brightest form. Its roads wind through lavender fields, ochre cliffs, and blonde bastides clinging to hills. Here, each village tells a story from a different time, each alleyway preserves the shadow of a medieval past, and each landscape appears painted by hand. In Gordes or Roussillon, the houses play with the light; in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the Sorgue springs from an emerald-green abyss; and in the valleys, abbeys and castles watch over the plains.
