Superb castle of Lourmarin

Cycle to the Donjon Saint-Michel in Cucuron, a striking medieval tower that offers a unique insight into the region’s history. This well-preserved fortress sits on a hilltop, offering stunning views of the surrounding Luberon landscape. Once you reach the donjon, take some time to admire its imposing structure and the breathtaking views of vineyards and olive groves that stretch into the distance.

Perched on a hill, this Provençal village reveals its stone houses, its winding streets, and its church which dominates the landscape. Surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and lavender fields, Bonnieux blends perfectly into the picturesque scenery of the Luberon. The Chemin des Cabanes, lined with small dry stone shelters typical of the region, offers an idyllic perspective.

The Château de Lourmarin is the first Renaissance castle in the region, built on the ruins of a 12th century medieval fortress. The main body of the castle was built between 1480 and 1526 by the Agoult family in a late Gothic style. In 1920, the castle, which had fallen into ruins and was threatened with destruction, was saved and restored by Robert Laurent-Vibert, a Lyon industrialist passionate about history and art. Today, it belongs to the Academy of Sciences, Agriculture, Arts and Belles-Lettres of Aix-en-Provence and has become a major cultural center.
