Goult is a pretty little village, with an old quarter, small castle, windmill and a Romanesque style church.
Wander around the old streets, take a look at the old houses and archways, have a coffee at the Café de la Poste or just admire the views over the surrounding terraces and countryside.
You can explore the farming terraces in more detail, starting from the windmill and taking a walk down to see where the olive and almond trees grow. Dotted around the terraces are little stone huts called "bories" which were used for shelter, and steps and water tanks carved out of the natural rock.
Although these terraces are no longer used for farming, they still offer an insight into how life and farming used to be in Provence before the 18th century.
You'll find Goult is less busy than some of its more obviously visible neighbouring villages, with a nice relaxed atmosphere, it's a charming place to visit.
