Villages of the Luberon - 16 March 2009

The Luberon mountains

In the Lourmarin Valley the rocky mountain ranges were spectacular.

In Bonnieux, an attractive statue on the side of a building.







The countryside is dotted with these stone bories. This one is in pretty good condition and looks like it still might be used as a shelter from the elements. On an earlier trip, we paid a substantial amount to visit the Village des Bories which was a cluster of bories all in one place. That was before we knew that Provence has hundreds of bories which you can see whenever you like for free.
