The final day of the Oliver family adventure to the Luberon included a trip to the hilltop villages of Bonnieux and Menerbes.
Bonnieux
We had a nice stroll around the village of Bonnieux, situated about 20 minutes from the town of Apt and perched on the very edge of a hill. I spent most of my time collecting photos of the cute windows for the collage I intend on creating shortly. As well as this we went up to the top of the village where there is an old 13th century church with a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding area. As well as the fab views, Bonnieux has an abundance of nice cafes and restaurants to suit all your ice cream and other food needs, mostly down cute little streets with terraces looking over the valley.

A teeeny tiny village about 10 minutes from Bonnieux which doesn't have a lot except for a handful of cute shops and cafes, but again has a lovely view and more of a lived in atmosphere than any of the other villages, which often felt touristy. We stopped off here just to wander up to the church, check out the view and buy an ice cream on the way back from Bonnieux. Worth a quick visit and certainly added to my pretty windows album but don't set aside a whole day for it.
