This week, our agency Plaisirs & Maisons de Provence takes you on a stroll through a charming Provencal village, the charming little commune of Orgon, situated on the border of the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles, and at the gateway to the Parc Naturel du Luberon.
A small Provencal village full of charm and surprises
Orgon is a surprising Provencal village, ideally situated at the crossroads of all the major roads linking the various attractions of Provence.
From Orgon, it’s easy to explore the whole of Provence:
The Alpilles Nature Park, where the green of the olive groves creates a magnificent contrast with the vertiginous limestone cliffs of the Alpilles massif.
Or the Parc Naturel du Luberon, with its magnificent ochre, whose colours are bound to fill you with wonder.
In Orgon, it’s in the village itself that you’ll find the most surprises.
The small Provencal village of Orgon boasts a rich heritage.
Its ancient fortifications give it the air of a medieval village, which will delight lovers of old stones and history.
At the top of the village are the ruins of the Château du Duc de Guise and the magnificent Château de Malvoisin.
A traditional Provencal village in tune with the times.
Orgon is also a lively, up-to-the-minute village, offering all kinds of activities to satisfy visitors from all walks of life.
In the heart of the village, for example, you’ll find the Musée Automobile de Provence, where you can relive a century of motoring history through some magnificent, carefully displayed collector’s models.
From the first sports cars to the small popular cars, the Museum offers a wide collection that will delight motoring enthusiasts.
The village of Orgon also offers a wide range of cultural events and village festivals, especially during the summer season, which everyone is invited to join in.
