Le Luberon

Here are some pictures of our program's trip to Le Luberon yesterday. The movie Jean De Florette was filmed in this region.


The guide told us that the mineral found in the rock here is what makes it look orange. It was really pretty.

I thought this was such a cool painting on the front of this old door. We stopped in a little village for lunch and to get out of the wind and cold.

This was taken at L'Abbaye de Sénanque.

Inside the abbey.

I really like this picture for some reason.

This is the abbey's courtyard. We were all freezing, but it was a really peaceful place.

Our tour guide told us that these are the only two columns with different designs at the top. The column on the left was, at one time, located at the very center of the abbey - which explains why they gave it its own design.



We had some time to kill after our visit at the abbey, so we stopped in another little city in Luberon. I took this one from the bus.

For me, at least, this day was mostly cold and uneventful until I saw this view. That made it worth it.
