Leaving the Roman bridge we drove further south to Luberon Hill towns.
The local cafe in Bonnieux was busy with locals who either walked, road bike or drove their tractor for morning coffee.
The town is known for its great views of the valley and Luberon Mountains.
Hikers must have been using the same GPS route to the next town.
The Chateau de Lourmarin near town center at Lourmarin.
This area of Lourmarin is where
author Peter Mayle wrote several books on life in Provence.
Town plaza fountain
Local mail delivery by scooter entertained us during lunch. The carrier was very animated by shouting his arrival to local merchants and showing how fast he could drive his scooter.
At Lacoste across the valley from Bonnieux we passed the
Marquis de Sade castle now home to
clothing designer Pierre Cardin who remodeled the lower level.
