Savoillans

Located in the Toulourenc valley, at the foot of the northern slopes of the famous Mont Ventoux, Savoillans is a small village nestled between mountains and meadows, offering an absolute haven of peace. Far from the hustle and bustle of urban life, this peaceful corner of nature invites you to relax.

A mountain village

Let yourself be charmed by this tranquility, reflecting a genuine invitation to relaxation and discovery. Savoillans also offers a multitude of outdoor activities, ideal for recharging your batteries and reconnecting with what’s essential.

The soul of this village lies in its land, where lavender and spelt are grown with passion, in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature.

To reach this little corner of paradise, follow the meandering Toulourenc river, winding through lush green countryside, before crossing the stone bridge that leads straight to the heart of the village.

As soon as you arrive, you’ll be enchanted by the elegant silhouette of the late 19th-century church of Saint-Agricol. Its slender bell tower rises proudly to the sky, while the stone washhouse, fed by springs from Mont Ventoux, adds a touch of authentic charm.

Park behind the Place de la Mairie, a stone’s throw from the picnic area and playground. This square bears the name of Savoillans’ first inhabitant, Sabuleius. Excavations at Colet Margot have revealed the site of a Roman villa, bearing witness to the village’s thousand-year history.

Nestled in a building full of character and history, don’t miss Ferme St Agricol, a former Ursuline convent built in the 18th century as a place for agronomic experimentation, which today hosts a variety of cultural events.

Finally, treat yourself to a stroll along the Art and Nature trail, designed by the “Grandeur Nature” collective. This trail of environmental art creations undulates through the village to the Ventoux forest, inviting you to discover works created in perfect osmosis with nature, for an immersive and enriching experience for the whole family, all year round.

Savoillans is much more than just a village: it’s a true haven of peace, where history, nature and culture come together to offer you an enchanted interlude.
