The little village of Reillanne is situated between Luberon and Forcalquier. It is one of those typical Provençal villages perched on a sun ripened hill, with cicadas chanting and heady fragrances floating in the air.

Sunlight glistens throughout the little streets of the old quarters where you will discover imposing houses with monumental staircases, covered passages, and some striking doors.

Don't hesitate to climb up to the ancient chapel St. Denis, there is one of the best panoramic views of Provence.
