 Mormoiron
is a small charming village located between the Mont Ventoux and the Vaucluse
plateau, just a stone's throw from the La Nesque Gorge.
Mormoiron lies peacefully
above the most superb scenery. Its houses are built high up and it has
narrow lanes, numerous covered passageways and beautiful old fountains.
The steady temperate climate (not too hot in summer) offers some great
possibilities for hikers. There are five waymarked trails in the area.
Maps are available from the tourist office.
Don't miss the Museum of
Archeology and Palaeontology. Take a trip 600 million years back in
time and discover the history of humanity via fossils and human remains.
Installed in two vaulted
rooms: one devoted to a collection of fossils from the region, while
the other exhibits rocks, flints and pottery found in the Mormoiron
area.
The village depends mainly
on winegrowing: Côtes du Ventoux. |
