To explore this authentic village, start by parking in the visitors’ parking lot at the bottom of the village and walk into the medieval village, taking in the charm of its pretty, steep lanes.
On your way, you’ll pass the pretty covered wash-house, fed by the overflow from the fountain above. Continue on to the partly troglodyte Saint-Sauveur church, which opens onto a picturesque square featuring a 16th-century fountain with an octagonal basin.
Continue your ascent towards the château, admiring the facades with their Renaissance-style windows lining the narrow streets. On the esplanade, the privately-owned medieval château stands majestically, restored by renowned French architect Roger Anger.
Don’t leave Crestet without taking in the breathtaking panorama of the Dentelles de Montmirail and the mythical Mont Ventoux from this highest point in the village.
If you’re feeling sporty, take one of the hiking trails through the mountain and discover the sublime surrounding scenery.

The chapelle de l’Annonciade, below the washhouse, dates back to 1545 and was restored in 2009 thanks to donations from the “Les Amis du Crestet” association. Its murals date from the 16th century.
