Key points

- 30 minutes from Avignon, 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, 1 hour from Marseille.
- The right choice for a quiet residential seminar or leadership team retreat.
Why the Luberon
The Luberon is a regional nature park first designated in 1977. It covers 77 municipalities (51 in the Vaucluse, 26 in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence) and 1,867 km². It is also recognised by UNESCO as the Luberon-Lure biosphere reserve and as a Global Geopark.
For a corporate retreat, it promises peace and quiet: hilltop villages such as Gordes, Ménerbes, Ansouis, Roussillon, Oppède-le-Vieux, Saignon and Bonnieux, and estates where the group can have the place to itself.

Our venues in the Luberon
We are currently visiting the venues in this area. Venue profiles are published after each visit. In the meantime, we pass your request on to suitable venues: describe my event.
Our advice
- Arrange transfers from Avignon TGV or Aix: venues are often isolated.
- Favour a residential format: the drive makes a day meeting less comfortable for a group travelling from afar.
- Make the most of local produce: a wine estate visit, a Provençal market, a walk through the villages.
