Lourmarin Village

Highlight • Settlement

Strategically located between the Petit Luberon and Grand Luberon massifs, Lourmarin is located near the entrance to the only road that passes between the two mountains. It is a very pretty village which attracts many visitors due to its beauty. Its pedestrian-only streets are very narrow. The town also has elegant fountains. But it is undoubtedly the view of its castle which causes the greatest number of photos taken. We also eat very well there.

View of Château de Lourmarin

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is the first Renaissance castle in Provence. It consists of the Château-vieux (old castle), built by Foulques d'Agoult in the 15th century and a Renaissance wing built in the 16th century. These two parts combine elegantly into an incredible whole.

Château de Lourmarin

Highlight • Castle

Built in the 15th century on the remains of a castle, the château received a Renaissance-style extension in the 16th century. Ownership changed frequently; almost 100 years ago, a private individual saved the château from decay. After his death, it was bequeathed to a foundation, which has used it for cultural events ever since. Albert Camus, for example, has performed here.

The path to the château is worthwhile, even if you don't want to visit it, as it offers a fantastic view of Lourmarin.
