メリンドルの洞窟・トップ5

Very beautiful place, typical of the Luberon.

The old town hall stands on the Place de la Croix. You can walk underneath it. It is very well restored.

Beautiful little cobbled village perched not too hard to climb from Bonnieux. The castle is closed.

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.

through the village up to the castle on foot

Built on a rocky outcrop, Oppède-le-Vieux is an authentic and preserved village. The old stones are typical of the region. The ruins of the castle, the old church and the chapel of the white penitents are all treasures to visit.

A beautiful village as a reward for the climb.

Old castle that is partly a ruin and partly well preserved. Free entrance.
