Le Carmejane

Client: Thames & Hudson
Location: Provence, France

The Luberon region of Provence is famous for its hilltop villages, vineyards and gardens. One of the most picturesque villages in the region is Menerbes, at the heart of which stands La Carmejane, an 11th century bastide with terraced gardens that seem to spring straight from the rocks. Perched high up on the cliff top, the garden enjoys spectacular views north across vine covered fields to the far away Mont Ventoux
