Saint Maime

The pretty little village of Saint Maime, sheltering under its rocky ridge, is located in the magnificent "pays de Forcalquier".
Sumptuous landscapes surround the village offering a variety of pleasant walks.
The village is also part of the Luberon Regional Park.

From the village square you'll have a superb view of the Luberon range, with in the foreground the neighbouring village of Dauphin (which merits a detour).
You'll discover the real charm of the village by walking down its narrow streets, bathing in the calm atmosphere.
You'll pass by old houses, the Sainte-Maxime churh with its campanile and some beautiful fountains.

Walk up to the top of the ridge and you'll have a spectacular view over the whole of the "pays de Forcalquier".
At the top there is the Sainte-Agathe chapel from the XII° C, go a bit further up to the Medieval castle and you'll find the remains of the ramparts and a tower while still enjoying the wonderful views which surround you.
