The villages of the Luberon
Because of its geographical situation, Pertuis has always been a junction of communication between the sea and the mountains, and its name in Latin pertus means passage.
This city of the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region has the particularity of being the only commune of the Pays d'Aix, which is part of another department: that of the Vaucluse. Thus, it is located at the northern end of the Pays d'Aix. It is customary to say that Pertuis has its feet in the Durance and its head in the Luberon.
