Ansouis, Medieval village in Luberon, France
The village stands on elevated ground between the Luberon massif and Durance river, featuring narrow stone streets and ancient defensive walls.
The castle of Ansouis, initially constructed as a fortress in the 10th century, underwent modifications in the 13th, 15th, and 19th centuries.
The Church of Saint-Martin, built in the 12th century, displays architectural elements including a three-bay nave and vaulted transept.
Visitors can explore the furnished rooms and French gardens of the castle through guided tours available from spring through autumn.

Between gentle mountains and stone villages, Luberon encompasses everything that Provence has to offer in its brightest form. Its roads wind through lavender fields, ochre cliffs, and blonde bastides clinging to hills. Here, each village tells a story from a different time, each alleyway preserves the shadow of a medieval past, and each landscape appears painted by hand. In Gordes or Roussillon, the houses play with the light; in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the Sorgue springs from an emerald-green abyss; and in the valleys, abbeys and castles watch over the plains.
