Overview: Venture into the Luberon Mountains to discover two of France’s “Plus Beaux Villages.” Gordes, perched dramatically atop a hill, is a vision of stone houses cascading down to the valley below.

Then, head to Roussillon, renowned for its ochre cliffs and colorful houses, where a walking trail reveals the vivid palette of nature.
