Cucuron

Places to see: Dungeon St Michel, La Tour Sus Pous, the pond basin.
Market: Tuesday morning

This old Provençal village of the Luberon spreads its houses, its streets and its fountains between the two monuments marking the limits of the old town: the dungeon St Michel and the church of Our Lady of Beaulieu. The ramparts, their gates and their towers, the oil mill that presses olives in a cave, the church and its historic organ are some of the many examples of the architectural wealth of the village. Cucuron is a typical example of the urbanism of Provençal middle age with its construction in concentric circles around a rocky outcrop that overlooked the feudal castle at the foot of which is concentrated the original 11th century troglodyte village.
