Séguret is located in the northern part of the Vaucluse, north of the Dentelles de Montmirail and west of Mont Ventoux. The village lies at the foot of a hill topped by the ruins of its feudal chateau. Séguret is one of the official “most beautiful villages in France”, and thoroughly deserves this distinction.
As soon as you arrive, you will be bowled over by the charm of this village, with its typical Provencal atmosphere and medieval character. You will literally find yourself in the setting for a crib, a decor naturally formed by the houses of the village.
Séguret is not just a fine village, it also has land and people who produce an excellent “appellation controlee” wine: Cotes du Rhone Séguret. They are successfully continuing a wine-making tradition dating back several centuries. This vineyard covering 8 km² changed hands and owners many times throughout history, until the 12th century. The village wine-makers then decided to take control of their destiny and made Séguret a free district so that they could manage their own affairs. You can’t visit Séguret without paying a visit to the Roaix-Séguret wine cellar (co-operative) or one of the village’s vineyards !
This listed picturesque site, full of charm, attracts artists and visitors from all over the world, who sometimes become permanent residents. Everything here is beautiful, everything is well maintained, everything has been tastefully restored.
