A Day Drive in the Countryside: Lacoste and Goult

 

Driving around the countryside in the Luberon: Goult and Lacoste. Enchanting this time of the year. Mild weather, not to hot. Poppies everywhere considering it was a mild winter with just enough rain and a gentle May. The cherry trees are pale pink, soon to compete with the red poppy fields.

The towns in the Luberon are spread out. You will need a car to go to one to the next. Then walk, and walk and walk, stone steps up and up and down and down. Visiting towns such as Lacoste, Goult, Menerbes, Lourmarin, Bonnieux… to name a few will keep you fit. Though you can park your car and find a cafe with a view:

Though what a pity if you do not take a walk around.

  1. I love the Luberon…so bucolic.
    Lovely pics.
    Thanks for popping by TIC!

  2. Those are my very favourite towns.
    My licence plate says Luberon.

    (I recall the names of a number of these towns from Peter Mayles’ books!)

  4. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed walking in many of these towns a few years ago. So beautiful!

  5. The poppies are really in abundance this year here in South West France too, as you say it is such a perfect month for walking, neither too hot nor too cold, it seems everyone loves the month of May 🙂

  6. I would love to be in Provence when the poppies are in bloom. Or the lavender, or the sunflowers.
