Maubec: Village History, Landscapes and Hotels

Maubec combines a historic village centre with views of the surrounding landscapes and opportunities for sporting activities. In the Vieux village, Provençal houses and views of the Monts de Vaucluse as far as Mont Ventoux, as well as the Luberon massif, shape the character of the place. There is also a sporting loop starting from Maubec and the nearby Véloroute du Calavon (EV8).

Vieux village: architecture and views

Along the calades in the Vieux village de Maubec stand Provençal houses with elegant 18th-century façades. The houses and their façades give the old village a distinct architectural character. At the same time, the Vieux village offers views of the Monts de Vaucluse as far as Mont Ventoux and of the Luberon massif. The village setting thus brings together historic buildings and views of several named landscapes. If you are interested in Maubec, you can consider these two aspects separately: the architecture along the calades and the views from the old village.

Parish church and former chapel

The parish church of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Baudile in Maubec was consecrated in 1753. Another historic landmark is the former Chapelle des Pénitents blancs, described as an especially faithful testament to Maubec’s past. The church and former chapel therefore represent different historical reference points: the year of consecration is specified for the parish church, while the former chapel stands as a testament to the village’s past.

Routes for sporting activities

The sporting loop La draille des frères Nouguier is 10.2 km long and starts at the Parking du Laquais in Maubec. Both its length and starting point are therefore clearly specified for planning purposes. Route details may change with local conditions; check them before setting out. The Véloroute du Calavon (EV8) is different: it is right near Maubec and provides a route to Cavaillon, Oppède or Apt. While the stated distance defines the scope of the loop, the three named destinations provide a guide to the véloroute. You can decide whether to focus on a sporting loop or a ride towards one of these places.

Heritage and events

On Route de Robion in Maubec, the restored noria is presented alongside a small rest area. Here, a restored historic feature sits beside a place to take a break. This gives the noria its own place in the village’s history and connects it with a small rest area.

In Coustellet and the surrounding area, the Lub’Art Fest celebrates urban and contemporary art every year. Dates vary from year to year; check the dates for the relevant edition when planning your trip. La Gare de Coustellet also has an event hall that can accommodate up to 260 standing or 80 seated spectators. Capacity differs depending on the event format. If a specific event is important to your trip, check the current capacity, as it may change following renovations.
