Located 2 km from the campsite Le Moulin Vent, in the South Luberon in the department of Vaucluse<\/strong>, Cucuron is part of the community of municipalities COTELUB and the Regional Natural Park of Luberon. It is also a stone’s throw from the Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne department. With 300 days of sunshine a year, just 17 minutes by car from Pertuis (12.6 kilometres), 16 km from La Roque d’Anth\u00e9ron and its international piano festival, 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence (35.4 kilometres) and 1 hour from Marseille (65.5 kilometres), Cucuron is the ideal place to stay and explore the Luberon. The inhabitants of Cucuron are called “cucuronnais”. Discover its old village, which was chosen as a setting for the films: “Le Hussard sur le Toit” in 1994 and “Une Grande Ann\u00e9e” in 2005<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional festival:<\/strong> Saturday, May 27, as every year, Cucuron resurrects the tradition of “May of Saint Tulle”. The origins of this festival and the way it is held today are both pagan and religious, and are the result of a vow made by the villagers during the great plague of 1720.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
