Puyloubier is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France. Puyloubier is famous in the region because of its winery in the middle of the town.

In Puyloubier can be found the Institution des Invalides de la Legion Etrangere which is a retirement home for former members of the French Foreign Legion.[1][2]

Its winery is famous because of the delicious wine it produces.

It only has one school which is very old. They may have to build another one because of the growth of the population.
