Whispers of the past

When you’re ready to explore, the gorgeous hilltop village of Saumane-de-Vaucluse – with its drystone houses and cobbled streets – beckons. It has a tangible sense of history dating from the Neolithic era, when people lived in baumes (cave dwellings) hollowed out in the surrounding steep valleys. Restanques (paths lined with drystone retaining walls) wind across these slopes, and terraces with vineyards, olive groves and almond trees are evidence of agriculture here since the 13th century.

You’ll still find scattered reminders of the Roman occupation. The feudal era saw the papacy take over from the Count of Toulouse, and then control passed into the hands of the Sade family for over 400 years. In fact, the village overlooks the château where the Marquis de Sade spent part of his childhood.
