This village is small, and was built on the side of a steep, rocky hill. Not being a touristy village makes it more fun as you discover the shops and walk to the next level of structures.
Eventually you will take the stairs to the top of the hill and have a terrific vantage point looking over what feels like all of Provence. This is not geographically true, but you can see far beyond normal, and at night the whole valley is covered with twinkling lights, while across the valley you can see a huge castle that they light up very colorfully. It makes for a lovely romantic scene.
Originally I went her for the painting possibilities as I paint watercolors. I was not disappointed with the many chances for a good painting.

We really enjoyed Bonnieux. We actually didn't see another tourist as we wandered through the streets. It was like you were seeing pictures from a travel magazine. It seemed like a very quite town.......
