THE LUBERON LOOP
What is The Luberon Loop?
The Luberon Loop is a multiday village-to-village hike in Provence, France. The easy-to-follow route pierces the Luberon's heartland of hilltop villages, acclaimed wineries, farm-to-table restaurants and stunning natural beauty. Info to whet your walking appetite:
Where is The Luberon Loop?
The Luberon Loop traverses the hilly, pastoral Luberon, part of southern France's Provence region. Irrigated by the Durance and Calavon rivers, the Luberon enjoys an arid Mediterranean climate perfect for Spring and Fall hiking trips. Situated east of Avignon and north of Marseille, the Luberon's vast network of footpaths links medieval villages, Roman ruins and silent oak forests.
Scouring 27 "perched villages," sometimes at a clip of over 3/day, The Luberon Loop's overnight stops are:
(1) Gordes > (2) St.-Saturnin-les-Apt > (3) Viens > (4) Simiane-la-Rotonde > (5) Banon > (6) Forcalquier > (7) Reillanne > (8) Saignon > (9) Bonnieux > (10) Ménerbes

From the Author:
I love everything about The Luberon Loop; I'm hopelessly addicted to its wonderful cuisine, friendly people, stunning scenery, visceral history and delicious wine. The easygoing Provençal lifestyle keeps luring me back. Four times, in fact.
While France is positively awash in hiking trails, I pioneered my own route linking as many fairytale "perched villages" as I could. My goal was simple: Create a hiking route for all abilities that mixes popular and lesser-known villages and offers a unique, affordable and approachable way to experience Provence's rich Luberon region. And so, in 2023, after four years, The Luberon Loop, was born.
But don't take it from me...
Hear What My Readers Say...
I'd never done anything like this before, and now I'm already planning another Luberon Loop for next year! (This time I think I'll walk the opposite direction!) Rory's guide gave me really good information, more than I needed actually, and also the confidence to do it myself. Thank you friend!

What a wonderful trip. We were nervous to do this ourselves, but Rory's guide (and his many helpful email replies) reassured us. We loved every step. (Except maybe the uphill to Viens, but worth it!) My wife and I even met a lovely Dutch couple at a small B&B that we still keep in touch with.

I was interested in the Camino [de Santiago thru-hike], but wanted to try something shorter first. I stumbled on Rory's website and reached out to him about this loop. The trip was amazing! The guide (especially the GPS files) makes everything so easy to plan. Cheers Rory!

Rory you legend! I think about this trip all the time. It was the highlight of my 2 months in Europe. He recommends the best little restaurants, wineries and hotels. Well done!
