The park received official recognition in 1977 and gained UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 1997, highlighting its role in regional ecological preservation.
The park territory contains numerous hilltop villages, local markets, and traditional farms producing regional specialties such as wine, olive oil, and honey.

French national parks feature natural landscapes with mountains, glaciers, lakes and forests. The parks are home to diverse wildlife and plant species. Visitors can hike, watch birds and explore nature. The parks extend from the Alps to the Mediterranean coast.
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.
