Lacoste, One of the Prettiest Gallo Roman Jewels of Provence France, Village Walking Tour 4 K UHD
Lacoste on Google Maps: Located 16 kilometers from Apt, Lacoste is one of the Luberon hilltop villages. It faces the village of Bonnieux and offers a viewpoint to Mont Ventoux. People come to Lacoste for its cultural and architectural heritage, but also to enjoy its sports offer in an atypical nature. If you like atypical places steeped in history, do not miss the old underground stone quarries. You can also admire the belfry with its wrought iron bell tower, a church of the twelfth century, an old Protestant temple of the nineteenth century and many bories, these drystone huts typical of the Southeast. Overlooking the village, make a halt at the Lacoste Castle, whose origins date back to the GalloRoman era. Until the 16th century, it was the property of the Simiane family before being bequeathed to the family of the Marquis de Sade. Witness of the Revolution and looting, it has been restored by the current owner, couturier Pierre Cardin
