Séguret

Set against the backdrop of its star and the famous Dentelles de Montmirail, Séguret is classified as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”. Vineyards surround this small, typically Provencal village filled with tranquillity.

A wine-growing village

Dominated by the ruins of its feudal castle, this small Provencal village, with its cobbled streets and fountains, is worthy of a nativity scene and tells the story of a thousand years of history…

From the houses at the foot of the village, you can admire the remarkable remains of medieval fortifications, including the Porte Reynier, also known as the “Portail de la Bise”, and the Porte des Huguenots or “Portail neuf”.

Take the main street, where every step echoes with the sound of centuries past, and let yourself be guided tothe fountain of the Mascarons, a listed historic monument, and the adjacent 1680 single-needle clock.

Continue on to the Chapelle Sainte-Thècle, also known as the Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs, which hosts art exhibitions from time to time. A little further on, be sure to take a look at the communal oven, a witness to the daily life of the village’s inhabitants in days gone by, which has been rekindled from time to time over the past few years, much to the delight of villagers and visitors alike.

Continue your ascent to theRomanesque church of Saint-Denis, with its crenellated bell tower, and enjoy the magnificent view over the valley and the Dentelles de Montmirail. Take your time to soak up the breathtaking beauty of these enchanting landscapes… An orientation table is available to help you find your way around.

Go back down to the left and let yourself be enveloped by the soothing Place des Arceaux, whose plane trees are classified as “Arbres Remarquables de France”. One last look along the village ramparts from below, and you’ll take away with you the eternal memory of this village… The soul of this village can’t leave you indifferent…

Séguret, an enchanted interlude where history and typicality blend harmoniously with the beauty of the landscape.

Coup de coeur

Every year, Séguret celebrates Christmas with the greatest respect for Provencal traditions, with its “Cacho Fio” ceremony on December 24, its living crib, the 13 desserts, the exhibition of master santonniers from Provence and its renowned midnight mass, preceded by a pastoral performed by Ségurétains since 1960.
