Ansouis is a little village in the Vaucluse department between the Luberon massif and the Durance river.
Although the village is tiny, it's home to just over 1000 people, it does have an impressive castle which was first built in the 10th century and then modified in the 13th, 15th and 19th century's. The castle can be visited in tour groups and inside there are collections of 17th and 18th century furniture and tapestries, there is also a wine museum and vineyard.
Ansouis is tiny but very pretty and, perched as it is on a small hill, commands impressive views of the surrounding countryside. There is a Sunday morning market and during the summer months there are various festivals and fetes.
