Vos vacances en Luberon, terre authentique du Vaucluse

Colorado provençal.

À Roussillon, petit village du Vaucluse, vous trouvez le plus grand gisement d’ocres du monde. Les différentes teintes que l’ont retrouve actuellement, rouge, jaune et ocre, sont dues à la Goethite, connue depuis la préhistoire et utilisée comme pigment, dans la grotte de Lascaux. C’est au moment de la Révolution qu’on redécouvre ces pigments naturels qui aujourd’hui reviennent en force dans les activités liées à la peinture, la décoration, la poterie ou encore le bâtiment. Le sentier de l’ocre vous permet de découvrir ces paysages magiques du colorado provençal. Image par Greudin [Public domain]

La TRUFFE trésor du Luberon

La terre du Luberon, grâce à l’implantation du chêne vert et du chêne blanc, est favorable  à la truffe. C’est l’un des terroirs français les plus réputés pour la qualité et la quantité de ses champignons dits tuber melanosporum. Ses sols, essentiellement calcaires ont permis l’implantation de nombreux chênes truffiers permettant ainsi la récolte du fameux diamant noir.

La Tour-d'Aigues, Provence

A small village with an impressive ruined Renaissance chateau at its centre

Visitors to La Tour d'Aigues are mostly drawn here thanks to it's large and impressive ruined castle, which dates back to 1550 and which was burnt down at the time of the Revolution. 

The chateau has undergone various stages of renovation work over the years, and some of these works have revealed a number of interesting archaeological finds which are now housed in the museum on the castle grounds. 

The village lies not far from the Luberon national park , which is worth a short drive to get to to enjoy its many hiking, cycling and mountain biking trails. 

Sights & Attractions in [locality]

As well as the ruins of the castle, there is also a 13th century church in La Tour d'Aigues and a museum housing an earthenware pottery collection (with finds discovered in various renovations of the chateau) which can be found in the lower levels of the castle. You can also tour round some of the vineyards that surround the village and do a spot of wine tasting. 

Events in [locality]

There is are regular markets here on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June to September in the castle square. In summer you'll also be able to enjoy the South Luberon dance, theatre and music festival in the castle grounds. 

Dining in [locality]

There are a small handful of restaurants in the village, mostly French but then there is both a Vietnamese and a Thai restaurant too. 

La Tour d'Aigues can be found in the South Luberon, which is part of the Vaucluse region of Provence. It's around 6km north east of Pertuis, the closest town which only takes around 10 minutes by car. Further south, Aix en Provence can be reached in roughly 35 minutes drive.

Geographical information

Nearest cities & towns, things to see and do.

The castle of La Tour d'Aigues: A masterpiece of the Renaissance in Provence , Château de La Tour d'Aigues is located at the foot of the Luberon Mountains. Unfortunately burned in 1780 and then in 1792, he left us as remains in ruins. There are now only a few facades and basements (nearly 1000 m² rehabilitated). The facades are beautiful to see, despite the absence of real castle. His plans inspired the largest castles of de-France Island (The Louvre, Ecouen, Anet) and the elegant proportions of its facades are worth a close look.

The rue des Grands Fours: Old portal walls, open to facilitate the flow. On the right, to see a door surmounted balustrades recovered from the ruins of the castle after the Revolution (1792). The monument is abandoned, it serves as a career to villagers.

City Hall: The entry consists of a large arch leads to a closed yard is a former convent located inside of a prior serving as a housing for 5 canons. The priory was sold as national property in 1791, date installed City Hall. Today, all the buildings are used by the city and right side for housing the priest left. Formerly, the church and priory were out of town, expansion of it has embraced them.

The Notre Dame Romegas: Romegas comes from the Latin "dock" meaning "invasive herb." Mentioned since 1096 in texts, nothing remains of that era. The choir of the church, part reserved for clergy, is oriented to the east in the direction of Jerusalem. The 3 windows represent the symbol of the Trinity. Special feature: the apparent liter (black mark on the walls of the nave), was painted in the death of one of La Tour-d'Aigues lords to express the grief of the village. It is very rare to find yet visible. In the first southern chapel dating from the thirteenth century, it is made in the early sixteenth century a group carved in stone: "entombment". Most of the furniture (wooden statues, paintings, chair..) dates from the seventeenth century, as the sacristy. The pyramidion was restored in 2014 on plans and methods of original buildings installed by carpenters companions in the village.

Place Church: This is the site of the old village cemetery. Located at the time outside the walls and located south of the church. Head to the street of Aeolus, the end of the square, opposite the church.

The entrance to the Old Village: This part of town already existed in the Middle Ages. The houses were built on the right as a line of walls that demarcated the city.

The street of Aeolus: "Aeolus" refers to the Greek god of the wind. This name seems logical since it is a windy street (portal circular walls and infiltration of the wind). But this is a distortion of the Provencal word "Oulo" pots meaning, because we are actually in the old street of pottery workshops.

The door Remparts: Limits of the village until the fourteenth century when the expansion begins outside the walls. The door is in poor condition but still distinguishes the traces of the original grilles. Down the street Breach.

Stairs: They date from the Middle Ages and gave access to the house. Below, the stables for animals (1 or 2 goat, donkey, no more). Take Rue des Grands Fours (on the left).

Oratories: Niche welcoming a statuette of a religious figure. often located at the corner of two passages to protect both (against pestilence, epidemics and other disasters...). These niches, or their statues, were largely damaged and / or stolen at the time of the Revolution.

The mullioned windows: Large windows cut into 4 or 2 because the time technology did not allow to create large windows or windows for the wealthy. Openings were often sealed by the skins of beasts greased laid on chassis fitted with oiled paper for the poorest. They date from the sixteenth century: late Middle Ages and early Renaissance (Renaissance = search light).

At the first intersection, look to your right.

The street Portal Romieu: Street going down, always so often frozen darkness and slippery in winter called "street Rompe Cue" (ass break the street). Also called Street of the portal because it overlooks an ancient gateway in the ramparts (now destroyed).

Take the Old Castle Street.

The core 1 Village housed the 1st castle, called "Tour de Beranger" the eleventh century (wooden construction). Perhaps he confined to a tower? The buildings are rounded because they followed the fortifications and the shape of the rock (better visibility and easier to defend). The walls disappeared for 2 reasons: expansions and the appearance of large firearms (guns...). The walls were no longer enough. The first village occupied an advantageous position, overlooking the valley of the Eze west and placed on a natural barrier (cliff), giving excellent visibility for monitoring. The new and current castle dates from the thirteenth century built around a square tower called Roman but probably turn passing for payment of the grant (contribution collected by the city to the import of goods).

Take rue de la Chapelle.

The old chapel of Penitents: It housed the White Penitents (brotherhood created by Henry III in 1585, also called "white-beaten" because they struck with humility, self-flagellation). The penitents were religious and lay men and women, and had intended to organize good works. They shared actions to care for the poor, the sick, prisoners... The chapel was destroyed in the eighteenth-nineteenth century because it was unoccupied and fell into ruins.

The beautiful facade: Beautiful facade with beautiful ornaments. House belonging to a family of good Aix nobility of the Estière of Bourgais. To see the other side of the facade, on the Castle Square.

The portal Burliaire: No one knows the exact meaning of the name, only assumptions exist related perhaps to the games that took place on the Palace Square, the term Bourlerie means "play the ball" at the time medieval.

The other front side: No ornament on the magnificent façade of this house, because the lord who held the castle at the time (family Lesdiguieres) in prohibited construction in front of the castle not to compete with ornaments its beautiful entrance gate. Constrained by this request, the house is decorated on the other side.

Events and festivities

La Tour-d'Aigues Pottery Market: early May in partnership with the Terres de Provence association, the Tour-d'Aigues town hall and the General Council of Vaucluse .

As usual, the Potier Market will take place on the main square of the castle from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

On this occasion, about thirty confirmed professional ceramists will exhibit their work (tableware, jewellery, decoration, sculpture) and their different production techniques (stoneware, porcelain, earthenware, raku, smoked clay, etc.).

Many activities that will be offered throughout the day in a festive atmosphere: the unmissable earth workshop for children, the sale of solidarity bowls, the lottery to elect the most beautiful stand (2 draws during the day). Come in large numbers for an ever richer day of exchanges, encounters and visual pleasure!

A Moscow Free Walking Tour of the Iconic Red Square

Updated March 10th, 2020

This post might contain affiliate links. That means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, if you buy through my site. I appreciate your support of my site.

No visit to Moscow, Russia is complete unless you take a walk around the famous Red Square and see the iconic sights of the city. One of the best ways to see all the famous landmarks in Moscow and learn a little something about them too is on a free Moscow walking tour through the Red Square.

Continue reading for a sneak peek at what you will see on your free tour in Moscow and for tips on both the tour and visiting the sights. Make sure to save some time during your trip to go inside of the magnificent buildings because you will not be going in the buildings during the tour.

The State Historical Museum

The Moscow free walking tour begins at the Marshal Zhukov monument in front of the State Historical Museum . You can’t miss this massive red building. The museum’s interior is almost as spectacular as the artifacts you can see within. Read my post dedicated to the museum here to find out more on what you can see and tips for visiting. Admission is free with the Moscow City Pass .

The Kremlin

Behind the walls of the Kremlin lie the working offices of Russian’s government and president. When visiting the Kremlin you can see the Armory Chamber, Cathedral Square, the Patriach’s Palace and many more cathedrals. You definitely want to buy tickets ahead of time so you avoid the long-lines. You can get free admission with the Moscow City Pass . It’s also worth it to take a guided tour if you don’t speak Russian so you have more of an understanding of what you are seeing.

St. Basil’s Cathedral

If asked to conquer up an image of Moscow, St. Basil’s Cathedral might just be the most likely image you picture. The cathedral has a museum that you can visit at a later time. You can buy tickets at the ticket kiosk outside the cathedral or receive free admission with the Moscow City Pass .

Moskva River

Next up on the tour is the Moskva River which runs through the center of Moscow. A cruise on the Moskva River is a great way to see the city from a different perspective.

GUM Shopping Mall

Who would think a mall would be one of Moscow’s most well-known attractions? GUM shopping mall across from the Kremlin makes up one of the four sides of the Red Square. The stores might be a bit too pricey for shopping, but the gorgeous interior is worth a visit. If that doesn’t convince you, the mall has some of the best ice cream! GUM is the only building you go inside during the free walking tour. There are pay bathrooms you can use while you have a few minutes of free time.

Kazan Cathedral

Located on the northeast corner of the Red Square, the Kazan Cathedral is another impressive dome-shaped building in Moscow that is also an active place of worship. Entering the cathedral is allowed, but remember to be respectful if people are worshipping.

Bolshoi Theater

Contrary to the previous buildings, the Bolshoi Theater isn’t along one of the four sides of the Red Square. Located a few minutes away, the theater is one of the best theaters in the world. Make sure to come back for a guided tour of the inside or make reservations far ahead of time to attend a ballet or opera.

Alexander Gardens

The tour ends near the Alexander Gardens , a free public park located along the western Kremlin walls. The garden’s green lawns, sculptures and water fountains offer a nice place to take a stroll or relax a bit after some busy sightseeing.

You can visit all these sites on your own, but the best part of doing the Moscow free tour is that you learn more information and have the potential to meet new people!

During my tour I started to talk to a woman from Malaysia and she invited me to join her and her friends for a Russian meal afterwards. It’s these little impromptu meetings and opportunities that I love most about traveling and add more to the sightseeing experience. While I was a little hesitant about going to the tour myself I told myself it would be a great opportunity to possibly meet new people. I love when things work out like that!

Moscow Free Walking Tour Visiting Information

Moscow Free Walking Tours

How to Get There

The Moscow Free Walking Tour begins at the Marshal Zhukov monument in front of the State Historical Museum (a large red building). The website shows a map with the exact meeting point.

To get to the red square area you can take the blue 3 metro line to the Ploshchad Revolyutsii stop, or the green 2 line to the Teatralnaya station or the red 1 line to the Okhotny Ryad station. For more on how to use the metro read my Moscow Metro Guide .

Tours every day at 10:30am – 1pm in English

If you need a toilet before the start of the tour the Okhotny Ryad and GUM shopping malls are both close to the start of the tour. You will need to pay to use the toilets. There is a quick break mid-way through the tour at the GUM shopping mall where you can use the toilet if needed.

During the mid-way break in the tour you can buy some ice cream at the GUM shopping mall. There aren’t many other options or time for anything else. After the tour there are a lot of restaurants in the area. There are a couple of Varenichnaya №1 locations nearby if you would like some authentic Russian food. Their speciality is Russian dumplings. Another classic choice nearby is Grand Cafe Dr. Jhivago. While you can try traditional Russian foods like borscht and Olivier Salad, you may need a reservation. GUM has several restaurants, including a couple of buffets upstairs.

Recommendations

While I would start off your visit to Moscow with a tour of the Red Square, make sure to come back to each place to tour the inside. If you are visiting several sights consider buying the Moscow City Pass  to save money on admissions.

Other Tour Options

Another company  Moscow Free Tour  does a similar free walking tour in the Red Square. Check the site for the details on the starting point and times. If you prefer a private paid tour with a hotel pick-up and a visit to St. Basil’s Cathedral included check out this tour . For a private paid tour with a hotel pick-up and a visit to the Kremlin included you may want to take this tour or this one . Even if you don’t typically take tours, I would recommend taking tours as much as possible in Moscow. Many people do not speak English and most information is not in English either.

The Kremlin looks rather imposing. It would be great to explore the history in Moscow.

There is a lot of history in Moscow to explore!

What a handy guide to get the most of Moscow’s red square! I’ve always wanted to try a walking tour and this looks like the perfect place to start!

I really enjoy walking tours, I think they are a great way to get to know a new place!

You have highlighted all the main sights around and in the Red Square indeed! I have visited Moscow in winter and the atmosphere was magical…even though it was cold 🙂 I’m looking forward to visiting in summer too!

Yes, there is a magical feel during the winter. I have to say I prefer the warmer, brighter summers though 🙂

Follow My Anchor

I am planning to go to Moscow and St. Petersburg this year so reading this was very helpful. I would love to do the walking tour! What time of year did you do it? I am planning to go in August as I really can’t stand the cold 😀 Do you think August might be a good time to visit Moscow? Thank you so much for your information!

I did the walking tour in September. July and August are the best times to visit Moscow in my opinion, so you are going at a great time! I lived in Moscow for a year so I have a lot of posts about Moscow and a couple for St. Petersburg too. Please check out my other posts as you are planning your trip and feel free to send any questions my way!

I’m a huge fan of taking free walking tours whenever my husband and I travel. We learn more about the history from the local’s perspective. Your walking tour in Moscow looks fun. The St. Basil’s Cathedral is beautiful and would love to see it. Thanks for sharing the must-see places in Moscow!

I’m a big fan of free walking tours too! I completely agree that you get a good perspective and introduction to the history of the city.

I would love to take the walking tour to get a good coverage of the area! The tip about paying for the bathrooms is great. That’s something I didn’t realize when I went to Europe for the first time from the US.

I always find it annoying paying for bathrooms in Europe!

I visited Moscow in June this year for the World Cup and I loved it. St. Basil’s Cathedral was the highlight for me, it’s such an impressive piece of architecture. I would’ve liked to visit more of Russia but maybe next time!

I really enjoyed Moscow during the World Cup too. The city was much livelier than usual!

I have been to St. Petersburg but never to Moscow. I think that these kind of tours are very useful to gather many information but I second your suggestion to visit the palaces inside as they have stunning interior decor and art treasures.

Yes, I think both going on tours and getting an overview and touring the inside of places are good to do.

Shreya Saha

St. Basil’s cathedral is definitely a beautiful place to visit. I would also love to stroll by the Alexander gardens and maybe spend some time in the shopping mall call mom maybe visit the theater, also I would love to visit Kremlin and the State Historical Museum. That’s a great list you have managed to provide here.

Never been to Russia, but the country’s history and culture has always fascinated me. Great list of things to do in Moscow’s Red Square. Kremlin is definitely on top of my list!

Russia does have a fascinating history and culture!

The architecture here always looks so beautiful. I would love to go to Russia. Some helpful tips here that would really help me navigate a future trip. I love the Russian ballet so a trip to the theater would be a must for me.

• DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020

• BeverleyT 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat trip - TERRIBLE We got on the bus, but couldn’t buy a 1 day ticket. They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!! The worst thing in Moscow! Read more Written August 18, 2019
• niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed. However it must be noted that one can learn a lot about the history of Moscow Read more Written July 3, 2019
• IrishCueTravel 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles SLO Motion Not all their fault , but if you plan on trying this Attraction be patient! Traffic is a big problem first and foremost. But to add additional unnecessary delays; the bus stops at each site for 15 minutes at a time or More ! I gave up half way through ( 45 minutes) ; and walked back to the starting point in 10 minutes!

• michael g 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Worst hop on/hop off EVER Waited for 40 minutes in the cold rain for a bus that never came... unacceptable. Traffic is so bad that when on a bus the previos day it was barely moving. My advice-get a subway pass and a good travel guide book and do sightseeing on your own! Read more Written October 24, 2018
• Rebecca J 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Boat element was excellent We purchased a ticket online for the boat and bus for 2 days. The boat element was wonderful, we saw some amazing parts of Moscow along the river side. The bus element was very disappointing as it only started at 10am and was finished by 6:30pm. It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus. They also turned away passengers at one of the stops as the bus was full and there was not another bus for 40 minutes. Read more Written September 26, 2018

• Peter F 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Two Routes There is a short red route which depending on the traffic takes about an hour. The route is generally around the Red Square area. The ear phones were small and sometimes the commentary did not link up with the sites you were seeing. The green bus takes you on a longer route and ours took two and a half hours due to the heavy traffic. I would not recommend this trip unless it is raining or you want to fill in time. The sights we saw were nothing outstanding with plenty of time at certain stops for photos. Also the driver stop for a bite to eat at one stop. Read more Written July 30, 2018

The girl on the picture-light blue bag-ask for 100 Rubles for show her the QR Code while I had the Booking and PIN number cause she must see the vessel name-Didn’t say nothing and after she said board any vessel.

• Daniyal91 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Was Ok.! Started our tour of moscow from here, We had got the 2 Day Pass with the boat ride. The route and the map was good but not well managed. The bus didn't stop at many points. Were were unaware a couple of times at what point we were and missed them. Headphones and maps were provided. Would recommend one should check out the route map before going and decide which places to stop in advance, this way one can manage and enjoy the tour more and us it more effectively.! The boat ride was Ok, a little crowded. No guide provided, just a boat ride with restaurant service Read more Written July 12, 2018
• WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.
