Sunday was an excursion for my entire school (Institute for American Universities).
We had the opportunity to see some pretty things in the Luberon such as...
The cute little town of Loupmarin - They have a cool castle there with a winding staircase. The streets of the town are winding and cobblestone. Since we went Sunday a lot of things were closed, but it was enjoyable nonetheless to spend some time in this little village.
This sign was outside of a boulangerie (bread store). It says "the only artisan bread and pastry shop of the village." Then the dog says "I wait here!" with the arrow pointing down to a water bowl. Cute!
This is where we had lunch... at the top of a village next to the chateau of the Marquis de Sade. He was the person who coined the term "sadism." Not such a happy reason to be famous for, but it was a beautiful day and this spot overlooked the countryside with all of the cherry trees in bloom. There was also this cool artwork at the top!
Last we stopped at the Ochre in Roussillon. It's a spot where the rocks have beautiful red, orange, and yellow colors. We took a walk/ hike around the area... it's very beautiful. If you're thinking it looks like Red Rocks in Denver, it does a little but it's a bit different color (more yellow) and it through me off when there was sand all over the place!
The village of Rousillon imitates the colors of the cliffs! Here I enjoyed a delicious violette ice cream.... yes, as in the flower. Different, but yummy!
