Cedar Forest Luberon Provencebove Bonnieux, on the Petit Luberon ridge, is the Cedar Forest. It was planted by the end of the 19th century to rehabilitate a natural space damaged by the intense grazing of flocks. Atlas Cedars (from Morocco mountains) were introduced and flourish there so the forest slowly grows. The original trees are now venerable centenarians, imposing their majesty. The Cedar Forest is managed by the Luberon Regional Parc.

Cedar Forest Luberon Provencerom the ridge, the view on Bonnieux and the valley is breathtaking. We make out the Mont Ventoux's white summit behind the dark crests of the Vaucluse mounts. The Cedar Forest is a popular and family place for a stroll in the nature.
