| Description |
After Lourmarin, our first photo stop was above the picturesque village of Bonnieux in The Luberon. It has a church at the centre of the village and a nice view of the Luberon countryside. Bonnieux is one of the Luberon's most attractive villages. It tilts gently down the north-westerly slope of the Luberon. Its control over the access to the river Durance and its political importance gave it a privileged status, whilst its relative geographical isolation protected it from the various scourages of these troubled times (it was only moderately affected by the ravages of the plague). The village started to grow by the churchside at the top of the promontory and gradually followed the slope down to where the new church is. The concentric levels are linked up by picturesque alleyways bordered with elegant houses.
Our tour guide mentioned that the tiles of the rooftops were made by forming them over peoples legs and knees! Zoom in to another village. It is the village of Lacoste, which is north west of Bonnieux. Zoom in is quite detailed and am happy with the resulting shot. The site of Lacoste was inhabited from pre-historical times. Like so many Provencal villages, it sits on its hill beneath the castle ruins. A modest alter dedicated to Sylvain, god and protector of nature, had come down to us from the Gallo-Roman period. |
