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.

Cucuron

Highlight • Settlement

This old Provencal village of the Luberon spreads its houses, streets and fountains between the two monuments that mark the boundaries of the old town: the dungeon of St Michel and the Church of Our Lady of Beaulieu. The ramparts, their gates and their towers, the oil mill that presses olives in a cave, the church and the historic organ are some of the many examples of the architectural wealth of the village. Cucuron is a typical example of the urban planning of the Provencal Middle Ages with its construction in concentric circles around a rock overlooking the feudal castle, at the foot of which is the original troglodyte village of the 11th century.

Notre-Dame-de-Beaulieu Church, Cucuron

Highlight • Religious Site

When you get to the church, go inside as it is beautiful and has a 16th century wooden mural and the original Romanesque nave, as well as a beautifully restored organ from 1616. Close to the church is the Marc Deydier Museum, with photographs of Cucuron's life, taken between 1890 and 1920.
