Maubec

Maubec is a commune perched on a hill parallel to the Luberon: the Montagnette. The Vieux village of Maubec offers a breathtaking view of both the Monts de Vaucluse up to the Ventoux and the Luberon massif.

Beautiful houses with Provencal architecture arranged along the calades and a small built heritage linked to water (wells, noria...) make this village a starting point for beautiful hikes.

Not far away, its Sunday morning peasant market (Coustellet) is absolutely to be done...

Did you know that?

The origins of the word Maubec Some anecdotal explanations would like the village to be built on the wrong side of its hill (“ubac”).

The toponymists agree to attach “beak” to the Celtic, spoken by the Gauls, with the notion of projecting rock, summit, or even fortification.
