This photograph was taken in the charming hilltop town of Menerbes in the South of France in a region called the Luberon. It is the region made famous by author Peter Mayle in his books. They made a charming film called A Good Year with Russell Crow from one of his books.This particular village has been restored beautifully and besides the French you find Americans and British people living here. The colors at sunset are especially beautiful. Within sight of Ménerbes are the ruins of the Chateau de Lacoste, country residence of the notorious Marquis de Sade.
