Belvedere St Hubert

Belvedere St Hubert is a viewpoint in Monieux that offers broad views across the natural landscapes of Provence and the surrounding mountain ranges. From here you can see four distinct geographical zones: mountains, forests, agricultural fields, and the distant Mediterranean influences visible in the vegetation.

The viewpoint developed from regional growth and served as a traditional gathering spot for local people since Monieux was established. This role as a meeting place has remained important across generations.

The name references Saint Hubert, a patron figure associated with this region. Visitors come here to observe and photograph the changing colors of the landscape throughout different seasons.

The viewpoint is open year-round without entrance fees, with parking nearby and several hiking trails leading to the observation area. Visitors should be prepared for changing mountain weather, especially on windy or misty days.

From this point you can clearly see the boundary between the dry, sunny south and the wetter northern mountain landscapes. This visible transition zone shows how climate and vegetation change across short distances in Provence.
