The Montagne du Lubéron rises in the interior of the region to the east of Cavaillon. On the south the mountain range is bordered by the River Durance, the plain of which is intensively cultivated (cereals, orchards) and in addition there are some green areas; in the north the valley of the Coulon divides it from the Plateau de Vaucluse. The Montagne du Lubéron is a mountainous area of chalk which reaches a height of 1,125m/3,692ft in the Mourre Nègre. Usually a distinction is made between the Petit Lubéron in the west and the Grand Lubéron in the east, which are separated by the gorge of the Combe de Lourmarin.
