La Tour d'Aigues is the main town of the Pays d'Aigues and lies near the Durance and southern Luberon areas. It's surrounded by hills, creating a very pretty setting at 270 metres above sea level, offering magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. At the foot of the town lie vineyards and farms, which contribute to the local economy. The town boasts a wonderful Renaissance Château.
