The House of the Mont-Ventoux Regional Natural Park will open its doors in the first half of 2027, in the former Notre-Dame du Moustier priory in Bédoin, following a year of renovation work.

Led by the municipality of Bédoin, owner of the building, with the support of the Région Sud and the State, and the backing of the Park's teams and the CoVe's project management assistance, this project is entering its final phase.
The former convent, dating from the 1960s, is set to have a new life, becoming a place open to the public as well as the future headquarters for the Park's technical teams.
The renovation, which has just received the « Bâtiment durable méditerranéen – niveau Or » (Mediterranean Sustainable Building – Gold Level) label, emphasizes local resources and bio-based materials such as cedar from the communal forest, spelt straw, wood wool, stone, and terracotta tiles. Wood heating via a pellet boiler, natural ventilation, solar energy production, and rainwater harvesting complement this environmental approach.
Beyond its energy performance, the project promotes the local economy, social inclusion, and material reuse.
The Park House will concretely embody the Park's commitments to ecological transition, drawing on the territory's resources, know-how, and vital forces.
