Local Area Details

Banon - The place to discover Provence

Clinging to the Albion plateau , between the Lure and Ventoux mountains, Banon has kept its authentic and natural character. Surrounded by lavender fields, wheat fields and hills subtly perfumed by local aromatic herbs, the village is a symphony of bright colours.

In the village, you'll discover a fortified medieval site with ancient doorways, sculptured lintels, and classified gateways. Banon is a small village made famous by its tasty goats cheese delicately wrapped in a dried cedar leaves and tied with a raffia ribbon. Eaten with a good glass of red wine and fresh whole meal bread, difficult to resist! (... No, impossible) !.
