3 km from Lourmarin Altitude: 375 m Population: 1828 A charming village at the foot of the Luberon hills. The old part of Cucuron is surrounded by fortified walls erected in the 12th century, and its architecture, composed notably of ancient towers, impressive townhouses, an attractive church with a historic organ, is testament to the richness of its past. The superb church Notre-Dame de Beaulieu dominates the village and is a must-see, as is the olive oil mill, housed in a cave in the ramparts, which has been in use for four centuries… |
