Lourmarin

Albert Camus settled in Lourmarin in 1958, comparing the Luberon to the landscapes of Algeria, and he lies in its small cemetery under a simple plaque, as does the novelist Henri Bosco. The village stands where the combe de Lourmarin opens out between the Petit and Grand Luberon, among vineyards, olive groves and almond trees. Above it rises a Renaissance château, rebuilt in the 15th century and restored in 1920.
