Discover the charming village of Saint Trinit in the Vaucluse

Saint Trinit is a tiny village nestled peacefully on the border between the Vaucluse and Alpes de Haute Provence regions, surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Pays de Sault.

Saint Trinit and its few houses clustered around its listed 12th-century church dedicated to the Holy Trinity will welcome you with simplicity and kindness.

Superb lavender fields in July

Here you will be surrounded by lavender fields as far as the eye can see. If you are lucky enough to be here in July when the lavender is in full bloom, you can enjoy the fabulous spectacle of purple fields mingling with golden grain, a truly enchanting sight.

The Church of the Trinity

The Church of the Trinity dates from the early 12th century. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1915. You will also find a Saint-Roch chapel built in 1629-1630 to protect the village from the plague. An old priory with a vaulted door stands opposite the church.

A must-visit bistro

The Bistrot de Saint-Trinit is the heart of the village. Anthony and Élodie welcome you with cuisine made from local produce. The daily menu costs £22 (starter, main course, dessert).

Far from the main roads, isolated in the midst of unspoilt, abundant nature, you will feel as if you are living outside of time.

What activities are there in Saint-Trinit?

Hiking is the main activity in the commune. The ancient oak trail is 9.3 km long with a 156-metre elevation gain. The pine, oak and beech forests are ideal for mushroom picking. Every year, on the second Sunday in October, the village organises its mushroom festival. You can explore the Albion plateau on foot or visit neighbouring villages such as Aurel and Sault. The tourist office will provide you with maps to help you plan your outings.

What is the history of Saint-Trinit?

The name Santa Trinitat has been documented since 1082, linked to a Benedictine priory built by monks. The current church dates from the 12th century and was built by the Benedictines of Saint-André Abbey in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. In 1580, during the Wars of Religion, the inhabitants fortified the church, which led to the demolition of the vault and part of the Romanesque nave. The building has been listed as a historic monument since 24 March 1915.
