Bonnieux

This beautiful village in the Luberon was the scene of the filming of An Excellent Year.

Like Gordes, this marvellous Luberon village was also the scene of the filming of A Great Year by director Ridley Scott with Russell Crowe.

This spectacular village is built on levels hidden by a rock face. Its old churches, mighty walls and quaint little streets will seduce you with their picturesque beauty.
