From the top of a rocky spur dominating the garrigues and vineyards of the Luberon, the citadel of Ménerbes and its castle watch over its neighbors Gordes and Roussillon, both winners of the title of “Most Beautiful Villages of France”. Inside, the alleys unveil a rich heritage: old houses, the Place de l’Hotel de Ville (City Hall Place) with its belfry and campanile from the 17th century... Like many other villages of the Luberon, Ménerbes seduced a few famous artists such as Picasso, who had a house there.
