Les 7 lacs
Les 7 lacs is a nature reserve near Beaumont-de-Pertuis that features seven interconnected water bodies. The site is surrounded by reed beds and natural vegetation that creates a series of distinct aquatic and wetland habitats.
The lakes formed through natural geological processes in the Provence region and were later designated as a protected nature reserve. The designation has helped preserve the local ecosystems and their wildlife populations over time.
Access to the site is on foot via marked paths that circle the lakes. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and expect muddy conditions, especially after rainfall or during wetter seasons.
The lakes serve as a crucial stopover for migratory bird species traveling through the region. Birdwatchers can spot dozens of different species during migration seasons as they rest and feed here.

Luberon sits between soft hills and stone villages in the heart of Provence. The region shows what makes Provence special: lavender fields, ochre-colored cliffs, and honey-colored houses that cling to hillsides. In villages like Gordes and Roussillon, the buildings catch the light in striking ways. At Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the Sorgue river emerges from a green spring, and throughout the valleys, abbeys and castles look out over the plains. The places here tell stories from many different periods. Old village streets hold echoes of medieval times, and the landscapes feel handcrafted. You can walk through underground quarries at Gargas, discover troglodyte houses carved into stone at Cadenet, or explore the Bories—ancient stone structures that show how people once lived near Gordes. Roman bridges like the Pont Julien still stand after 2,000 years, connecting past to present. Nature shapes this region too. The cedar forest near Bonnieux provides shade and cool air. Plateaus and lakes offer quiet places to rest. Towns like Apt and Lourmarin have castles worth visiting, and smaller villages such as Saignon, Ansouis, and Ménerbes reward those who wander their narrow streets. The landscape shifts constantly—from stone villages to wild cliffs to cultivated valleys.
