A local would say...

Climb 86 steps through Bonnieux's hidden alleyways and staircases to reach a 12th-century church with views across the Luberon that feel like a reward for getting lost.

A medieval hilltop village in the Luberon that has preserved its character since the Roman era, Bonnieux is riddled with narrow alleyways and hidden staircases winding up through layered stone. From the central Place de la Liberté, 86 steps lead directly to a Romanesque 12th-century church that crowns the summit with views across the valley. A Friday market fills the village square with Provençal produce.
