A quick tour of the Luberon



LE LUBERON - A meandering drive through the Luberon, the region just north of us, always reveals new wonders of Provence...and good restaurants. The towns of Gordes and Bonnieux are both medieval hilltop villages that are fun to explore. And we stumbled upon, quite accidentally, Les Beries, which are wicked old stone huts that date back probably 1000 years or more (I should know more exactly, but like Lindsey (below), I fell asleep during the video).

Gordes - One of the most picturesque of the French mountain villages

Bonnieux - One of the most picturesque of the French mountain villages...wait. have we been here before?



Les Beries - Yes, they used to live in these things. Brrrr

Wine by the case outside Bonnieux

 
The historical significance was lost on Lindsey. Toni is quite attentive, though. Meanwhile, Candie does her best white, female Samuel L. Jackson impersonation
