Less than 100 inhabitants live in Oppedette, a small village perched on a rock, in the heart of the wild Luberon, in the middle of the preserved natural scenery of the gorges dug by the Calavon, the famous Canyon of Oppedette.
An ancient Provençal village inhabited since the Mesolithic period, about 40,000 years ago, Oppedette is a remarkably restored and preserved village, as care has been taken to restore the houses while preserving the rustic and authentic character of the village.
Old stone houses, quiet lanes, superb views of the cliffs and the Calavon gorges give this village a very special charm.
