Everyone, or almost everyone, appreciates the south of France. And this for a whole bunch of reasons. The sun, the cicadas…Life is good in the south. When you are there, you are far from the tumult of Paris, which very often allows you to recharge your batteries and release all the stress accumulated in big cities such as Paris. And that really pleases the stars, who particularly favor the Luberon, a corner of Vaucluse renowned for its magnificent villages and breathtaking landscapes. In 2019, our colleagues from Point took their readers to L'Isle-sur-La-Sorgue, for a pétanque tournament bringing together several celebrities, like Tex and Renaud.
L’Isle-sur-La-Sorgue is there.”where Dave, Pierre Lescure and Grand Corps Malad also reside“, specified the magazine. And when we talk more generally about the Luberon, we can “see Alain Chabat, who has just got married in Bonnieuxtaste the oil that Patrick Bruel produces on the Margoye plateau, or even hear Bénabar whistle in the streets of Gordeswhere he sponsors a vintage from Etienne Imbert.” The Point also stated that “some are even committed to safeguarding local heritage“. Which is particularly the case by Michel Leeb, “who helped restore the collegiate church of Notre-Dame-d'Alidon in Oppède“. Elie Semoun, him, “flew to the aid of the abbey of Sénanque where he made several retreats.”
We know that John Malkovich is also attached to this region, as is Patrice Laffont, who died this summer in his house in Oppède.
The Luberon, favorite place of stars, why?
You will have understood, the Luberon is very successful! But how to explain it? First there is the landscape, which is one of the most beautiful in France, explained Gilbert Duffaux, the organizer of the pétanque tournament, Point. This is why I invite them every year: so that they can discover this incredible region.” The beauty of the place then. But not only that, according to “press officer of a well-known festival”: “Here, there is as much sun as on the Côte d'Azur, but without the bling-bling side. Celebrities are looking for calm, discretion and authentic relationships, which they find difficult to have in their environments where hypocrisy remains the norm.
Remember that the Luberon is a preserved land, recognized as a World Biosphere Reserve and Global Geopark by UNESCO.
