The citadel of Ménerbes, ranked one of the most beautiful villages in France, is built on a rocky spur from the Luberon mountain that looks out over the garrigue and the Luberon’s vineyards. The little streets reveal a rich heritage. As many villages have done, Ménerbes captivated a few famous artists like Picasso or Nicolas de Staël… The British journalist Peter Mayle wrote his first bestseller « A Year in Provence » here.
