Close GalleryThe majestic Chateau de Lourmarin.
The village of Lourmarin is probably most closely associated with the name of Peter Mayle, the author of best-selling books such as "A Year In Provence" and "A Good Year" (the latter of which was adapted for the big screen by Ridley Scott, starring Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard and filmed mainly in Bonnieux), but was already a favourite destination for tasteful travellers well before this new-found fame. Despite the high-profile residents and visitors the village has seen over recent years, it has refused to become a tourist hotspot and has done an incredible job preserving its authenticity and its charm, two words which probably best define Lourmarin.
