The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region

Bonnieux is considered as one of the most beautiful perched villages of the Luberon area. The region was made popular by Peter Mayle’s bestseller “A year in Provence”

The villlage is built on the foothills of the Petit Luberon, and is surrounded by a number of other perched villages (Gordes, Roussillon, Ménerbes, Lacoste, Saignon), all of them within a short drive away.

In Lacoste (5 km), you can visit the Marquis de Sade's castle, restored by the famous French fashion designer Pierre Cardin.
