Goult is an historic village situated in the Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon. It will be especially enjoyed by history and nature lovers alike.
Restored with the utmost care, Goult has many beautiful buildings made of stone and ochre. You can stroll through its picturesque streets and visit the charming church with its archways and ancient doors. You will discover the ruins of the old ramparts as well as the d'Agoult family château which emerges from the rock (privately owned and not open to the public).

You can watch the world go by while sitting in one of the large squares shaded by 100-year-old trees before setting off to discover the rest of the town... the cultivated terraces, belonging to the Conservatoire des Terrasses are well worth a visit .

Huge olive trees, beautiful oaks, fruit trees and vegetable gardens are set amongst attractive stone walls that have been restored and maintained by volunteers from the Conservatoire. Take the time to admire the landscape for which Provence is famous.
