Beyond Just hilltop villages

I had the most splendid 5 nights in the region of Luberon. And those who think these are just a bunch of hilltop villages, let me tell you there is a lot more to them that deserves your attention. Each of these villages have their own charm and heritage to offer. You could choose a base for yourself depending on where you're coming from and what suits your budget. There are plenty of options. And then with each day you could have day trips to different villages, see the sights, explore food and night life. You're looking at the villages of Gordes, the most famous of them with stunning views. Rousillon, which was our base. And basically it is a picturesque village where the facades of the houses are adorned with warm colors ranging from yellow to red. Stroll through its colorful. In Loumarin, you could admire its Renaissance castle and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the cafes and restaurants on the terrace. Then there is the castle of the Marquis de Sade, in the village of Lacoste. Great medieval atmosphere and discover the small artisan shops. Lastly, the most beautiful of them all Oppede le vieux. It is simply spectacular. #myhiddengems #summerdestinations #france #luberon #100waysoftravel #europe #hilltop #villages #explorer #singapore
