Location: if your idea of a perfect Provence village includes cafes and restaurants spilling out onto the cobbled streets, Lourmarin is the place for you.
You will find a detailed list of our selection of restaurants and places we love in Provence in the house. Sites to see in Lourmarin include the 15th-16th century Castle, the Romanesque St. Andre church, a lovely campanile and some nice old fountains. Lourmarin is nicely situated as a base for visiting Provence. It's in the heart of the Luberon, with Aix-en-Provence about 30 minutes to the south and Avignon 45 minutes to the west. Some lovely nearby villages along the southern edge of the Luberon are Vaugines, Ansouis, Cucuron, Cabrières d'aigues and La Motte-d'Aigues. Also very close, on the northern edge of the Luberon, are Bonnieux, Lacoste, Ménerbes and Oppède. The market town of Apt is only 20 minutes away. The drive north towards Bonnieux goes through the beautiful, narrow river valley called 'Combe de Lourmarin'. The Luberon offers an abundance of natural wonders.....
