Lourmarin village in the Luberon, at the entrance to the combe, is situated at the foot of the Luberon, a mountain range of light and contrasts. With a rich past, the village's history still remains peaceful and tranquil in its verdant haven full of the hearty and heady fragrances of Provence.
Lourmarin is a great place to visit and stay. With its 11 restaurants of which 2 have Michelin stars, you can enjoy the Provençal dishes famous for their quality, character and unforgettable flavours. The village's cooperative wine cellar lets you taste the wines from its land.
You will also get a taste for Provençal life as you stroll through one of the most beautiful Provençal markets in the Luberon, on Friday mornings in Lourmarin.
At the same time, you can admire the typically Mediterranean architecture of the village:
- the magnificent belfry, called the "saltbox"
- the fountains, in different styles and from different periods,
- the restored Romanesque church,
- the Renaissance Château, a "Médicis Villa in Provence",
- the Temple, a listed edifice, sober, finished in 1816,
- the vintage houses with their Renaissance façades.
Along its narrow and serpentine lanes, the village winds around the rocky outcrop of the "castelas", the belfry.
