Ménerbes, Medieval hilltop village in Vaucluse, France
Ménerbes is a village built on a rocky ridge in Vaucluse where stone houses rise steeply from the hillside. The buildings create a compact cluster on the hilltop with views stretching across the surrounding countryside.
The village became a focal point during the Religious Wars when it endured a prolonged siege in the late 1500s. This conflict left a lasting mark on the settlement and its role in the region's history.
The former residence of photographer Dora Maar now serves as the Brown Foundation Fellows Program, providing workspace for international artists and scholars.
You can reach the village by taking local roads from nearby towns. Parking is available at the base of the village, from where you walk up into the streets.
A historic house here once belonged to photographer Dora Maar and now hosts international artists and scholars. This creative space draws people from around the world to work and exchange ideas.
