One of the smallest villages in Vaucluse, Saint-Léger is set in the magnificent Toulourenc valley (Toulourenc means 'all or nothing' in Provençal). Built on the southern slopes of the Bluye mountain, facing the 'Giant of Provence' – the Mont Ventoux – it is chiefly composed of ancient stone farms and houses. Saint-Léger is a very popular starting point for boar-hunting parties.
