Bonnieux

Bonnieux is a commune in the Provence region of southeastern France, located on a hillside in the Vaucluse department. The settlement spreads from the medieval upper village down to modern neighborhoods, with narrow pathways connecting stone houses and a church at its center.

The location developed as a medieval fortified settlement and held importance in the Vaucluse region for centuries. Its layout and buildings reflect influences from different historical periods that shaped this part of southern France.

The village is best explored on foot, as narrow streets and limited parking make driving through difficult. Wear comfortable shoes since many pathways are steep and paved with uneven stones.

The village perches on a hillside with sweeping views toward the Luberon Valley, making it a popular spot for photography. From the upper reaches, you can see across fields and mountains that stretch to the horizon, especially beautiful in early morning light.
