Overview
In the exquisite village of Lourmarin, located in the captivating Luberon region, this lovely three bedroom villa is perfect for a family or small group of friends wishing to make the most of this wonderful part of Provence.
Maison Junon is air-conditioned and very comfortable as well as furnished and equipped to a good standard. The stylish open plan kitchen dining and lounge area opens to the al-fresco dining table beneath a charming south facing green pergola. The downstairs bedroom opens up to a terrace which looks out towards the heated swimming pool in the pretty tree and flower filled garden, from where there is a little path which takes you to the village.
Lourmarin is a much loved place in the Luberon and officially one of the most beautiful villages in France, perched on a small hill in the midst of olive groves, almond trees and vineyards. It has three characteristic bell towers and a myriad of pretty flower clad lanes where you will come across squares, shops, cafes and a range of restaurants. Browsing the Friday morning market is sure to be a joyful experience and the village is also a cultural centre with a range of galleries and its mystical château hosting festivals and concerts throughout the year. The village is proud that Albert Camus lived and wrote here.
There are many family activities to enjoy in the magnificent landscapes of the Luberon Nature Park including golf, kayaking, hiking, cycling, horse riding and rock climbing. Nearby Ansouis is another Plus Beau Village and Cucuron is famous for its bassin, a large pool of water in the main square shaded by ancient plane trees.
More idyllic villages like Lacoste, Ménerbes and Bonnieux can be found further north or you might want to travel to the magnificent small mountains of Les Alpilles. The sun-drenched university town of Aix-en-Provence is sure to offer another brilliant day out but whatever you decide to do, you will love returning to the comfort of your home in idyllic Lourmarin.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison JunonMaison Junon is situated in a residential area a short walk from the heart of Lourmarin in the Vaucluse department of south-eastern France. Listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France, it is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and almond trees with typical Provençal architecture and lovely shaded squares.
It’s such a special place to spend time in, meandering around the myriad of little streets, coming across interesting shops, boutiques and galleries, stopping off for a coffee or reading the menus of some of the village’s excellent restaurants. The Friday morning market is a memorable experience and don’t forget to tour the village’s famous château which hosts several concerts as well as other festivities and events.
There are so many family activities to enjoy in the magnificent landscapes of the Luberon Nature Park including golf, hiking, cycling, horse riding and rock climbing. There’s canoeing and kayaking on the Durance River and nearby Étang de la Bonde is a tranquil area for walking and swimming during the summer months.
Ansouis, only 10km away, is yet another classified French Plus Beau Village, home to an impressive castle and a Michelin starred restaurant. It’s only 7km to Cucuron, set right at the foot of the Luberon mountain and best known for its bassin, a large pool of water in the main square shaded by ancient plane trees, making this a delightful place to lunch or browse in the Tuesday morning market.
Heading 13km northwards from Lourmarin, Bonnieux is another unmissable village where you will see the church tower on the plateau long before you arrive. Lacoste is a beautifully preserved medieval village with incredible views which lies between Bonnieux and Ménerbes, the walled village in the Luberon mountains.
Food lovers are sure to enjoy a visit to Apt, 20km north of Lourmarin at the foot of the mountain range and in the heart of the Luberon Nature Park. It is classified as a site remarquable du gout as a result of the fine local produce sold at its two markets - the Saturday one at Place des Martyrs is particularly renowned.
Driving southwards, the university town of Aix-en-Provence offers a brilliant day out with its parks, galleries, museums, book shops and cafés. The magnificent landscapes of Les Alpilles are also accessible with exquisite Les Baux-de-Provence and vibrant Saint-Rémy-de-Provence reached in about an hour by car.
Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesIt’s fantastic being a short walk from the heart of Lourmarin, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ with its charming lanes and inviting restaurants. Before you travel, check to see what may be happening at the village’s famous château which often hosts concerts and other festivities or events.
There is canoe hire along the Durance River within a short drive or you may prefer to head further north towards Fontaine-de-Vaucluse where you can admire the beauty of the Sorgue River by canoe or kayak. There’s also a tree-top activity centre with trails for a range of ages/heights.
Just over a 30-minute drive away, Zoo Barben will appeal to animal lovers and there is also a great playground there. The theme parks Grimmland and Le Village Des Automates are also within easy reach, offering rides and other family attractions in the summer months.
Aix-en-Provence is a fun day out for all the family. Soak up the ambience as you ride the iconic Paul Cézanne carousel, take a tour on the little tourist road train, try some local marzipan sweets, then enjoy a picnic in one of the city’s parks before exploring an art gallery or museum.
