Forcalquier, Haute-Provence 1 hr 15 away

Via the A51, Forcalquier is closer to the airport than it seems. A private driver saves you the coach and the change at Manosque, especially with luggage.

It is a good base for the northern Luberon and the Valensole plateau.

The town of four queens

In the Middle Ages Forcalquier was the capital of a powerful county, and the four daughters of Count Raymond Berengar all became queens. From the citadel, topped by the chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Provence and its carillon, the view takes in the Lure mountain and the Luberon. The Cordeliers convent, one of the first of the order in Provence, opens in summer.

The Monday market is one of the largest in Haute-Provence: goat’s cheese, olive oil, lavender and honey. The town is also known for its liqueurs and its European university of scents and flavours. The Haute-Provence observatory at Saint-Michel-l’Observatoire, nearby, enjoys some of the clearest skies in France.
