普羅旺斯絕美山城Lurs導覽🇫🇷地道鄉村小酒館＆聖雅各之路驛站探秘

You may have been to Provence, but you must not know about Lurs, which is known as one of the most beautiful mountain towns in southern France. Today, led by my French friend Marie-Ange, I enjoyed a fantastic lunch at an authentic Provencal terrace restaurant . After that, I will take you to every corner of this former residence of the bishop and the pilgrimage station leading to the Way of St. James. For me, it is like a painting hanging on the hillside , away from the hustle and bustle , quietly guarding the taste of time. This time I stayed in another small town in Provence called Forcalquier. I have made many videos to introduce this unique town hidden deep in Provence, especially its farmer’s market. We drove for about 20 minutes to reach Lurs, one of the most beautiful mountain villages in southern France. You can also stay in Forcalquier like me and then visit the surrounding countryside. Park the car in the small square and walk for about 2 minutes to reach this very authentic Provencal restaurant called La Terrasse de LursThe terrace at LursIt is noon nowThe light is very strongMost of the houses have their windows and doors closedI later learned that this is the holiday home of many Parisians and even Europeans.They usually live here in the summer, so now the whole village is almost emptyI deliberately chose this season to shoot so that everyone can better appreciate the traces of time and yearsThe traces of yearsThe restaurantArrived, the balcony at LursDo you see a cleaning machine working outside the window? That was the first time I saw a cleaning machine hanging in the airFrom the restaurant’s windows and balcony , it seems that this restaurant is hanging halfway up the mountainI will now take you to see the view from the balconyFrom the balcony, you can see the magnificent Luberon MountainsThe wind blows through the olive treesI can’t help but close my eyes and take a deep breathAh , this is the meaning of travel in my heartI think you understandThe trees are full of silver flowersIt actually feels a bit like a Japanese paintingHow did you find it but earlierWell , I knew it, it was marked outside. Ah, yes, but I knew it. This is a certification called “Bistrot de Pays” usually local ingredients local cooking with beautiful landscapes generally small villages small villages with seasonal ingredients 70% local producers 40% organic; 100% French meat that’s interesting but I don’t know if there is a guide we made a national guide it gives you 2 copies. The rest you have to buy. I said uh no, don’t exaggerate let’s see this is a bistro is it all Provence? All over Provence oh that’s beautiful I’ll look like this. Now you can see this very precious picture of a bistro is the best entry to local culture and flavors including the Cote d’Azur Provence and the Alps region I hope to have the opportunity to introduce you one by one in the future just like eating at home, olive sauce tapenade olive sauce – tapenade is usually related to black olives? anchovies and capers but we also use green olives I ordered a local dish: lamb cooked in Provence sauce. Then mine is fine, this is a local fish fillet this is a fish uh this is a fish yes it is a fish this is a fairly ordinary fish this fish is not some fancy fish all local ingredients local made my dessert: a strong dark chocolate cake and yours is a poached apple or salted butter caramel this is a whole apple this is yes it is a whole apple in the cooking i will taste i tell you it is of course cooked thank you ma’am thank you very good wait i will tell you how it is cooked uh it is cooked in syrup without orange blossom ah the orange blossom is not cooked in syrup no so it is not very sweet but what is the white behind it this is not sugar this is a little cookie yes but you know it is butter it is butter it is butter butter is salted butter caramel it is very sweet it is caramel but it is okay it is caramel. But I can let you try this salted butter caramel. I have some small wineries in my family. They are often run by the same family. This is taken back by the family and passed on to the next generation . I live above a family now , but before that I was in Saint-jurès on the other side of the Durance River. You probably know that house transfers are complicated and happen in families. Yes, yes, no, but there , but it has been redone, everything has been redone. Your restaurant is beautiful . Thank you very much, madam. It is delicious, yes. After lunch , the tour officially starts and goes to the village halfway up the mountain. This ancient Provence city has been influenced by ancient Rome? c’est may I don’t know the history of the village here. This is an ancient village. Sure, what are these trees? It will bloom soon. This is not a plane tree. It will not be non . This is 1 1. What is it called? Still beautiful. This is the viewing platform. You can see the whole Durance Valley (Vallée de la Durance). Then you can see the scenery here: the Alps, all the Southern Alps , and there. This is the Southern Alps, yes, all of them. Then there is the Durance River on the right. Now, the La Durance River has dried up. There is no water. The small head there is the entrance to the Verdon. There is the entrance to the Verdon Gorge . Lurs Village. This is a stone originally from the ocean. It was formed in the warm sea of Provence 20 million years ago. The relationship between this stone and humans has always been very special. Small and diverse. This small village has less than 500 residents. It is a typical French mountain village. Shuttle through the stone streets and alleys. The old walls covered with vines. The flowers on the villagers’ windowsills. The springs on the roadside. Am I traveling through a time tunnel? It’s beautiful. We will pass this alley later. Oh, it’s really beautiful. The light shuttles between the stones. At this time, I was surprised to find this sign. The Camino de Santiago – The Camino de Santiago There is a road that goes through here. Look , I didn’t know. The Camino de Santiago – Pilgrimage I didn’t know there was a pilgrimage in Provence It’s still a long way to go Oh, it’s beautiful My friend took me to the end of this pilgrimage, which is the bishop’s former residence. We started climbing the stone steps. Will we go up? Many of the windows of the houses were closed. My friend said that these are Parisian holiday houses. They usually live here in the summer. The broken rocks on both sides are covered with wild vines. Only one person can walk. Look, they built a terrace. Is this new ? It doesn’t mean that these are old houses. The walls were repainted with a spray gun. Now you can see the sign leading to the bishop’s former residence. Now you can see the sign leading to the church through the church. I think there must be music performances in the summer. There were no music performances today . Although it can still be used, it is actually no longer functional? This is the site of the old amphitheater. Today you can sit here and enjoy the beautiful view of the Luberon. On the right hand side you can see the sign for the Camino de Santiago. Follow the arrow and keep going up. because you see different ones every day . So, it is very good to teach children about buds . When I was in St. Jerome, I took them there. We saw those leaves in 3 days. Look, you see those small leaves . The buds may only exist for 2 days. You can see other buds slowly opening up, but day after day, we see different trees every day. Do you see the difference? You see another tree! Look up! Look up. The tree grows out of the rock. Notice there are bees . There are a lot of them. Look, it smells nice. It’s great. Now you smell it . Mm… I smell it. Look at the sun and the sky. It’s really a Japanese painting . Yes, there are a lot of them. Charcoal-colored bees. Do they make honey? But there are also big black bees . Look, they are called coal bees. Are these bees dangerous? Do they sting? It doesn’t sting at all It’s not dangerous They also make honey They’re not there, no, they don’t make honey. They only appear in the spring But how big can they be? They can even be very large They look scary but in fact they are not dangerous at all A small church walk So, do dogs know this path? Yeah, I don’t know, I think I went with the dog It’s nice to watch, and it smells nice everywhere when it’s free in the wild . In Christian tradition, this is a way of the cross. That is, we realize that these are called the Stations of the Cross, which represent the entire Via Dolorosa that Christ walked, carrying the cross on his shoulders, walking silently, so it’s called the Way of the Cross , and before he was crucified, he was forced to wear the cross to the place where he was crucified, and he fell several times , so if you want to, in tradition, we have built many “Stations of the Cross” or at Easter , people would pray on their way to the Via Dolorosa. At each “Station of the Cross”, it was finally called his Station of the Cross to show people the way, before Jesus was crucified here, why is it called oak white oak because it has a silvery sheen , c’est des vieilles chênes blancs, this is the ancient white oak, this is a variety of oak, c’est la race du chêne , you see, it makes juniper berries. We use juniper berries in the kitchen . For example, in pickles, we use juniper berries . This pilgrimage is very pleasant. We are about halfway through the 15-minute journey. Along the way, my friend introduced me to various vegetation. The Luberon Mountains in the distance are beautiful and spectacular. We walked step by step along this quiet path to the small church on the top of the mountain . There were fine gravel roads at our feet. There were low shrubs on both sides. Wild herbs and quietly blooming wild flowers. The air was filled with the smell of thyme and sunshine that only Provence can have. Now there is only one priest in every 25 villages , but all these churches are for it. It is a church that still exists. Uh, who once had one but now uh belongs to the city . Yes, I think it is assumed, I don’t know the details. There is no noise of tourists on this road , only the wind, insects and my own breathing. In my opinion, this is part of the Way of St. James. It continues like this . Uh, here is the small church . My friend told me that this is the end of this section of the Way of St. James- The chapel on the top of the mountain. The chapel in front of me sits quietly on the top of the mountain, as if guarding the entire valley and time. It has no gorgeous decorations, but has a power that makes people want to stop and sit for a while . I sat here for a while without saying anything , just listening to the wind and feeling the sunlight gently falling on my body. The chapel “Our Mother of Life” is here. This is the La Durance River. They are apple trees . Yes, it may be apple trees. Flowers are also planted here. There is a tulip farm nearby . I don’t know where it is exactly, but it is very close to here. It may be there. We saw large flower fields. There are large areas where they are intensively cultivated. Look, this is wild orchid. Wild orchid? You see there are some actually, wild orchids can only grow in places without pollution, which means there is no pollution here , oh, it’s beautiful, the flower is very beautiful , she looks like an orchid, it’s true, usually grows in the tropics, ça sent bon ça sent oui, it smells very fragrant, yes, do you see the thyme in front of you, this is the thyme that can only be found in Provence, a beautiful aroma that is refreshing, this is a road without a destination , but after you finish it, you will feel your heart becomes lighter, we returned to the entrance of the village and saw a small motorcycle passing by, a lemon yellow motorcycle, very perfect, you know, in all the Italian movies in the past, everyone rode it, our President of the Republic , uh, when François Hollande took his girlfriend he rode a motorcycle to avoid everyone and went with it to pick up his girlfriend , he tried , he managed to escape from the bodyguards , you see you were discovered , yes, pay attention So uh, besides, because I didn’t come back, he was upset. That’s not good at all. You let your dog do whatever you want. You’re a bad dog owner. Oh, no, because my husband is here today . He’s happy because I didn’t let him go. But what a beautiful weather. You see, should I tie up my dog? I know, I know, ma’am, I know very well because there’s no one on the street now. I’m a good citizen. If my dog does something bad, I’ll take responsibility. This is a beautiful marble sculpture, but I don’t like sculptures. After World War II, there were many small bouquets of violets sold on the street . Yes, finally, after I finally, since a long time, this is a bouquet. They are the bouquets of the poor . So the bouquet of violets represents wild simplicity . Yes, people are selling them. There is a saleswoman on the street. She sells you a bouquet of violets. You can buy them for a few francs at the time. So this bouquet of violets. These violets are considered the simple flowers of the poor. And my father , yes, when he was dying, wrote his wish. He hoped that there would be violets, but there were no violets to buy. If there were violets, the money to buy the flowers could be donated to the poor because he thought violets were the simplest, Cheap but when he died 40 years later violets became very expensive and at that time violet bouquets were violet bouquets had become extremely rare because it took a lot of violets for a small bouquet and you had to arrange them by hand so it became very expensive so the little basket made of violet bouquets at the funeral we made a basket of violets real violets real violets we made like a purple flower but we made a basket. Absolutely wonderful violets God it cost us more than three times just a bouquet but that was his wish but especially that was not what he wanted at all because we spent a fortune but it was interesting, interesting, I think it was interesting. So now violets are very rare and we are very lucky because we were able to find some because he died on February 1st and there are still some but it is the end it is coming to an end ladies hello ladies your house is very beautiful ma’am, very beautiful. When we got there it was very nice is it a fake door? No, it is a real door yes I can see it very clearly I can see it very clearly. Is it a real door? Uh, I don’t know what the blue door is. They come once a year . Uh, these are the words. Hamza, what language do you speak? Algerian Arabic, Arabic. Hamza. Lurs is a very famous town. Lurs is very famous in literature . Ah, but it’s an Algerian style house? If you want to here, it’s a single house. So the lady who lives there. This house you see is dedicated to an international festival of literature. It’s a painting, but it’s also a real door. Ah, I thought it was, but it’s fake. I thought it was fake . Uh, yes, it’s not real . At the beginning of this week, there are many activities related to writing. In the summer, it’s always very lively here, with a lot of cultural activities. It’s a lively town . Yes, I’m here, thank you, good day. Roses, these are roses. Yes, yes, this is the first rose bush. These roses are called Banks roses. They make beautiful little flowers. This is the spring rose . Yes, this is the church. Very pleasant to look at! Bells, we can see them very clearly from here. Oh, yes, it’s very beautiful. We can see the bells very clearly. I don’t know, I don’t hear the bells. Do you hear the bells? Yes, a little red car. This is also very Provençal. It’s not the bells . No, it’s not the church bell tower. There are a lot of people coming in to buy houses for vacation. There are a lot of people trying to stop the bells because they are not used to villages like this with bells. Do you want to come down? In fact, this is the same street . No, it’s not the same street. I was there before . The dog knows that I’ve been there. It knows that I’m there . Yes, I agree. Oh, of course you are lovely. Oh, my God, this is a very big house. Oh, my God, beautiful. There are little windows like this . You see, there are still hate big houses. This is the same. So these houses have beautiful views over the valley. Yes, there are terraces inside that look over the valley. You have understood everything. Hello, hello, ma’am. We are back to the little square where we parked our car. You can see this very simple Lurs town hall. Thank you for watching. See you next time.
