A destination with remarkable biodiversity

The Luberon Regional Natural Park encompasses a multitude of natural habitats that serve as reservoirs for remarkable biodiversity. It is home to 35% of France’s flora, 50% of its bird species, and 40% of its butterfly species. As a testament to its heritage and ecological value, the park has been recognized by UNESCO as both a Biosphere Reserve and a Global Geopark.

It is in this unique environment that the vines of the Luberon AOC flourish.
