Ansouis
Ansouis is a small Luberon village to the east of Lourmarin and north of Pertuis.
Perhaps best described as a 'mini version' of nearby Gordes, the village spreads down the side of the hill, with a castle above and trees and gardens between the streets to add to the 'kerb appeal'.
The castle - the Chateau d'Ansouis - dates from the 10th century although it has been modified many times since, principally because the original defensive role was lost (originally the castle protected the road between Aix-en Provence and Apt). Much of the castle we see today, including the main facade, dates from the 17th century, as do the furnishings and tapestries that furnish the interior.
The typically Provencal gardens and terraces around the outside are also very attractive.
The village of Ansouis itself is typical of those in the region - quaint houses line quiet ancient streets, a handful of small shops vie for your attention, and the obligatory wrought ironwork campanile. Small but perfectly formed!
