Montagne de Lure Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

One of the 2 giants of Provence. Just as beautiful as Ventoux without the horde of cars going up there. The climb is nevertheless much less difficult than the Ventoux.

Abbey Church of Cruis

Highlight • Religious Site

Nestled at an altitude of 711m at the foot of the Montagne de Lure, classified among the "Cities and villages of character", this small town was built around an abbey founded in the 11th century. All that remains of this abbey now is the cloister and an elegant Romanesque church with a slate roof and richly endowed furniture for such a small village.
From the 16th to the 19th century, Cruis was an important center for peddlers and druggists whose activity consisted of traveling the mountains to pick aromatic or medicinal plants and resell them on the market. Thanks to this rich past, the village has retained a certain cachet offering a network of small flowery streets, squares with fountains or washhouses, and old houses with stone facades and roofs in harmonious colors.
