Saint Christol Population : 729 inh. Department of the Vaucluse |
![]() On the itinerary of the Route de la Lavande, near Sault and the Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon, Saint Christol is situated in the middle of breath-taking
countryside, at the centre of the Albion district; not far from Apt, Forcalquier and Carpentras.
Saint Christol is a caver's delight and amateurs will appreciate the numerous caves both here and on the "plateau d'Albion". All the caves have their own story which the local people will be only too happy to explain... from discoveries to collapses... there's no lack of stories !
Those who prefer open-air activities can enjoy some magnificent walks on Mont Ventoux. Around Sault and Saint Christol vast fields of lavander stretch out as far as the eye can see, alternating with golden fields of cereal... the countryside is typical of the Haute Provence and so beautiful you will never want to leave... In the village you can visit the magnificent,
classified Roman church that was built in 1119 by the Benedictines of
"Saint André de Villeneuve les Avignon". |
