Nature is the backdrop to this village which was established on a rocky promontory in the 11th century to protect itself. It dominates a plain cultivated with lavender, lavandin and small spelt, offering visitors a unique patchwork of colours in summer.
The town of Sault has been inhabited since prehistory. Sault formerly belonged to the Counts of Provence, and became part of Vaucluse in the late 18th century. Today, Sault is the kingdom of lavender - full of lavender fields which wave purple in June and July, and fill the air with the heady, delicious fragrance of lavender. Sault is also home to many fields of spelt, the ancient form of wheat grown by the Gauls and now highly appreciated for its many nutritional and taste values. Sault is also a health and holiday resort, where the air quality is excellent, providing many benefits. Sault is above all a small village built atop a rocky outcrop, with a 12th century church, museum, close to Mont Ventoux, the Nesque canyons and the Toulourenc canyons.
