One of the prettiest places overall in Provence is the Luberon Valley. Bonnieux can be seen in the distance from this place in the hilltop village of LaCoste. 
We hiked down from the ruined chateau at the top of the village where the Marquis de Sade lived in the 1700’s. During the French Revolution, the castle was vandalized and largely destroyed. 
Pierre Cardin owns the castle now and it is in the process of being renovated. Another famous resident of the well-know village is the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). They offer a yearlong immersion program in the history and culture of Provence as their study abroad program.
We also visited the small market in Roussillon, another beautiful Luberon Valley village, famous for their red ochre.
The buildings in this town are made from the red ochre stone which is typical of the area. The colors of the buildings reflect the stone from the area.
On our way back to St. Remy we stopped at Chateau Romanin, one of our favorite wineries.
We were treated with two gliders above us and ultimately watched them land. 
To begin fight these gliders are pulled by a small plane until they reach an appropriate altitude then let go to ride the thermals. 
It looked like a peaceful way to see the valley from the air, but none of us was willing to try. For dinner Anna and Vera returned to cook us another gourmet meal. 
So much still to see and only a few days left!
