Built in an amphitheater at the foot of a hill, this commune is bordered to the east by the Durance, to the north by the Chaffère, and to the south by the Aillade. The terroir is divided between the hills of the Luberon and the plain of the Durance.
Description
The name Corbières comes from Roca Corbiera, meaning the crow rock. Several hypotheses could explain this name, such as the curvature of the surrounding rocks or the presence of a fortress where the crows would gather...
Corbières is surrounded by hills where olive trees and vines grow. The cultivation of these vines produces high-quality wines, which can benefit from the AOC Pierrevert appellation.
Here you can admire several old bourgeois houses, including one that now houses the Town Hall. In the Grand-Rue, you can also discover a 15th-century residence that is recognizable by its lintel decorated with a sculpted double brace.
Partially ravaged by fires in 1942 and again in 2004, the woods and forests surrounding the village are made up of oaks, pines and olive trees, but also fruit trees such as almond trees, plum trees, walnut trees and mulberry trees. Along the irrigation canals, you will discover a majestic oak with a circumference of 3 meters!
