The flora in the Provence-Alpes-Côtes d'Azur region is very diverse. As for the fauna, in an environment rich with the scent of resin and other intoxicating tree species you may come across deer, wild boar, grass snakes, lizards and other animals, all as you listen to the cicadas singing while saying to yourself: "we're definitely in the south!" An excellent place to discover the nature of Provence is undoubtedly the Lubéron Regional Natural Park. Between the scrubland, the cliffs, the gorges and the rivers, this park is committed to preserving its biodiversity by protecting the many species living in it, all in collaboration with the 5 regional natural parks of the Côte d'Azur.
