Joucas is a typical perched village for which Luberon is famous for, such as Oppède, Gordes, Ménerbes, Bonnieux,
Roussillon and Lacoste. Staying in a Just Provence luxury rental in Luberon not only means benefitting from the
wonderful views and natural sights the region offers but also the historically rich villages and
towns nestled in the surrounding hills.

The UNESCO recognized Luberon Natural Park englobes three mountain ranges in the middle of Provence.
Alone it represents 30% of the fauna and flora in France.

Don't forget to visit Oppède-le-Vieux, a medieval village preserved in superb condition. Or Bonnieux, a small village perched
in a sea of cedar trees, that's not only a great place to visit and take in the view, but also offers a wide range of boutiques and restaurants for all tastes.
