Simiane-la-Rotonde, Medieval village in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
Located at an elevation of 630 meters, Simiane-la-Rotonde extends over 167 square kilometers in southeastern France, between Mont Ventoux and Luberon mountains.
The medieval castle features a remarkable rotunda from the 12th century, which stands as a testament to the architectural heritage of Provence.
The village maintains its Occitan linguistic heritage alongside French, with the traditional name 'Sumiana' still recognized in local cultural contexts.
The town hall opens on Mondays and Fridays from 14:00 to 17:00 and Thursdays from 9:00 to 12:00, while the library welcomes visitors on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
