Despite living here 7 years we are still making new discoveries, this one long over due.
At the top of 'La Petit Luberon' is the 'Foret des Cedres' a cedar Forest from which there are amazing views, and a superb area for walking and cycling.
From the viewing point there are spectacular views over Bonnieux, the Luberon valley towards St Saturnin with the 'Montagne de Vaucluse' and 'Mont Ventoux' behind
Bonnieux from the North side with the Perreal hiding part of St Saturnin
the flat paths are perfect for cycling and walking, they also have plenty of shade in the hot summer.
Unusually when we visited last week the wind was coming from the south, it was warm but incredibly strong and Karen was almost blown off her feet!
On the way up you will see this 'folly,' rumour has it the owner built it hoping to get a view of Marseilles,
but when he finally moved in it was too short so he jumped off and killed himself!
Not with standing go and enjoy - it is so not Provence - yet quite beautiful.
