Last thursday we took another 'route touristique' This time heading to the south side of the Luberon, the first stop this tiny village called 'Vitrolles en Luberon'.
From here we went to La Tour d'Aigues where this ruined chateau stands in the centre of the village and is now used for outdoor concerts. It dates to 1550.
It's grandeur contrasts with the rest of the village which has a relatively poor feel to it.
The restaurants are offering a three course lunch with wine for under 10 euros.
Our route then took us to Ansious, a village where Bradd Pitt and Angelina Jolie were going to settle. Thankfully they chose another village, instead the former fortress was sold to a 'highly distinguished Marseille family ' for in excess of 5 Million Euros.
The restored Church dates to the 14th cuntury.
The Belfry dates to 1540 whilst the village clock to the 18th Century.
This is Cucuron, the home of La Petite maison de Cucuron, a delighful restaurant overlooking the central bassin surounded by spendid plane trees.
three, two , one - got it! Thanks Brian
And we were watching you too - or should that be two?
And finally we headed to Lourmarin, a very popular village with a wide range of restaurants, art galleries and shops.
It is so relaxing to meander through the narrow streets.
