Hello,
I am trying to find the best way to reach Lourmarin from Nice by train and or bus. Would it be best to do train to Aix-en-Provence and a bus from there to Lourmarin? Or first a train to Marseilles?
Also, I have read that the walk from Lourmarin to Petit Luberon is beautiful. I would like to check out the Grand Randonees in the area, would anyone have any route recommendations for the area?
Regards,
Ashley
About how to go: By bus from Nice to Aix. The choice is phoceens-cars, Ouibus, flixbus. It take more time as the train and is cheaper. From Aix-en-Provence to Lourmarin. The cheapest way is bus which costs 2€. The quickest way is taxi which takes 32 mins.
Hi Ashley,
I live in the Luberon and I can advice you from Lourmarin to go to Buoux and the Aigubrun river (you will see famous climbing routes, beautiful natural sites and an area inhabited since prehistorical times), and then you can go up to the Moure Negre. But that's on the Grand Luberon.
On the Petit Luberon, there is the "forêt des cèdres" (the Cedar Forest).
If you are so close, you need to go to see the ochres in Rustrel (village 15miles away from Lourmarin).
If you need more info, feel free to ask me.
