You know the film A Good Year with Russell Crowe , here, is set in the Luberon. The Natural Park of Provence that is sweeping the British for the spectacular nature, the thousand small towns, traditional cuisine and perhaps also for the continuous chirping of cicadas.
Apt. We chose because
Apt convenient base for getting around the region, however, proved to be a pretty town with a wonderful market on Saturday morning.
idea to eat at The Apt thym you voila. Decidedly fusion menu, with a shot allla Provençal tradition and an ethnic, and always at least one vegetarian dish. Interesting decor, and full of ideas such as you would have thought that the old singer could not be repaired to become a pretty blue table? * Appetizer was also good with white wine and thyme.
59 Place St Martin
84400 Apt
* The drink is generally not as we know it, but rather a glass with two olives, or a pretzel or anything.
Oppède le Vieux
wonderful surprise! A very very small country and perched atop a hill, surrounded by lush vegetation, forests and rock formations, picturesque countryside. For visitors leave your car in the beginning of the village and up the hill following the path botanist. The village is charming, mostly consisting of old houses restored and definitely worth visiting the church of the 12th century and the ruins of the castle. The peaceful atmosphere has attracted many artists, so you will also find interesting shops.
idea to eat, The Echauguette . Could not find the foot of the hill to the castle. A charming restaurant with outdoor seating and other simple dishes and plentiful, that they forget to put it mildly stormy wind from which it is overwhelmed. Maybe because I love very much ;-) but their garlic pesto I liked it a lot! 
Bonnieux
The church tower dominates the valley around Bonnieux and its square is dominated by the countryside of the Luberon. And 'one of the most picturesque villages in the region, so be prepared to climb down to the crooked streets. The country is full of stone and striking harmony of colors of its houses and streets, architecture simple and elegant, the atmosphere quiet and powerful at the same time zone. It is not difficult to understand why he was chosen as a residence by several bishops!
Roussillon.
Saint Saturnin lès Apt
The most interesting part of the country, in addition to a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, the ruins are the portals of the palaces. One of the other stranger.
The streets of lavender
.
Make a gift to return to Italy do not come back immediately on the highway, but make yourself at home, find a cruise speed of lavender fields and enjoy the most amazing you can imagine. Passing by the Alpes de Haute Provence to the Verdon Gorges, including a photo stop and admire the other one, it is appropriate to say, very different landscapes. From the rolling hills of yellow and blue, the roads that climb above the Verdon, it seems highly appreciated by the bikers.
warnings.
delicious soaps They are everywhere, but if you intend to use them as such, and not smelling like laundry to say, better to read the incidence (the ingredients) and find that the soap you are buying is not true and that the soap lavender lavender have only the synthetic perfume! If you can help Oppede le Vieux in the restaurant / shop where we had lunch I found Marius Fabre soaps , all green dots (if you read the biodizionario know what I mean).
Lavender is the typical purchase, the better the honey, delicious jams (figs and lavender flowers is a delight!), The perfect dried bunches, cute bags and useful essential oils of lavender and a sink (which constitutes 98% of production in reality).
