Lourmarin is designated as one of the most beautiful villages in France. The village centre has lots of cafés and restaurants which spill out onto largely car free streets. There are many galleries, bookshops, designer boutiques, antique shops and quality gift shops.

Markets
There is an excellent Friday morning Market in Lourmarin with local produce and fine artisan craftwork. There are morning markets each day within 30 minutes of Lourmarin, ask me, I delight in sharing my local knowledge of the best products, wine growers and restaurants etc. All make a focal point to the week's activities and a meeting place for the locals to catch up with news over a cool glass of rosé or a café.
