Lacoste is a hill top village perched above the Louberon valley with an impressive castle that is these days owned by the designed Pierre Cardin
The castle at the top of the village was originally built in the eleventh century but became famous in the seventeen hundreds when it was bequeathed to the de Sade family and was inherited by the Marquis de Sade in 1763 who was famous for holding debauched parties there.
Today visitors can walk through the cobbled streets up to the castle and enjoy the art festival in July an views of the valley below.
