I was recently in the cute town of Lourmarin (in fact several times!) during my trip to Provence…read more Lourmarin is a lovely small town and easily accessed by car from Aix-en-Provence and on the way to the small town of Bonnieux. Parking in Lourmarin is right in town and easy to negotiate and to access shops and restaurants. In the town itself, there are multiple awesome clothing/accessory shops as well as restaurants, and other types of shops. Lourmarin is a delightful place to walk around. While in Lourmarin, I shopped for clothing, jewelry (bijoux) and other items. One shop that stood out to me was DGL at 2 Rue de Temple (look for the white awning and racks of clothing outside the shop). DGL is just to the right of Cafe Gaby as you face that restaurant. Inside this cozy shop are loads of great unique and stylish clothing and jewelry (bijoux) for those who are bohemian in spirit and taste. I found wonderful items to buy in this shop including two hand-painted linen tops and jewelry which completely appealed to my sense of style. The lovely and very helpful owner was great to chat with as I was making my selections for purchase. Let me tell you what this shop offers to female shoppers you likely won't find in the United States if that is where you are from. I am constantly searching for boutiques like DGL here in the US and those places are very hard to find. I've always loved to color outside the lines so this shop exactly helped me do that. If you travel to Lourmarin and love to shop as I do, you definitely should visit DGL. You can find more information and offerings from the shop on Instagram at DGLLourmarin.

REALLY enjoyed this market, at the recommendation of a neighbor in nearby La Roque d'Antheron. So…read moremany of the other reviews (in case you don't read French) mention the smells and the colors. ABSOLUTELY TRUE. We especially loved the Olive vendor who had a fabulous artichoke tapinade, and the cheese guy who had a very mild, but wonderful, blue cheese. Thought the market might be a bit larger than it actually is, and that there might be a few more options for lunch on the spot, but we did find a boucherie where small sandwiches were available as well. The place is about a 45 minute drive from our house. Would go back in a heartbeat for the ambiance and selection. If fact, I'm pretty sure we will I say yes!
