Lambesc (French pronunciation: [lɑ̃bɛsk]) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southern France.

Lambesc is located in the heart of Provence at the foot of the Côtes mountain range, near the Alpilles. The town has a strong historical and cultural heritage, being home to the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, the 11th-century Romanesque chapel of St. Anne's Goiron, as well as Manivert, a local art and archaeological museum.[3] The town's special character and its beautiful environs, including the Luberon massif, attracts international tourism to the area.
