Markets and the Marquis de Sade's chateau

We started the day by going to the markets in Bonnieux and nearby Lourmarin.

We lunched at the Cafe de France in Lacoste with its views over to Bonnieux and its familiar, lovely food.

We went to the top of the village to see the Marquis de Sade's chateau and the artwork its current owner, Pierre Cardin, has installed on the land next to it....

...only to find that the chateau was open for visitors today! So for the first time since Cardin purchased it and started restoring it in 2001 we were able to see the art inside the chateau walls.....

.... and inside some of Pierre Cardin's "apartments" within the chateau itself.
