== History == thumb|Oppède le Vieux as seen from the northern flank of the Luberon mountains in June 2023. It is in fact two villages: Oppède-le-Vieux ("the old" in French), built against the Petit Luberon and dating back to the 12th century, and Oppède-les-Poulivets ("nice view" in Provençal), today known as "le village", down in the valley.
