Vaugines

Population : 469 .
The Department of Vaucluse

South of Apt (25km.) by D943 and D56 (at Lourmarin).

Vaugines is situated in the foothills of the Grand Luberon. It is a very old village, simple and charming far from the main routes. It has kept its original
Provençal identity, witnessed by its peaceful streets ornamented with pretty traditional houses.

Here the landscape is wild and authentic. It was chosen as the setting for the famous French films "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des Sources", adapted from books written by thc Provençal author Marcel Pagnol, and starring Yves Montand. For a while the calm of the village was disturbed but it has once again found its true serene character.
