But it is also very agricultural. The famous Banon cheese is from here plus there is a lot of lavender production in the area too. It doesn't seem like a poor town nor a rich one based on my visits. A mix of both and not really in between.Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-87009238344454464592014-01-22T19:58:31.767+01:002014-01-22T19:58:31.767+01:00Hello Sharon.

I would say 1 1/2 hours to Simiane, 2 to Banon easily. To do a swoop of the Lower Luberon hill towns of either Roussillon and Gordes or Menerbes and Oppede le Vieux might be more accessible. Just a thought. :)Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-3289599503870939062014-01-22T19:25:28.622+01:002014-01-22T19:25:28.622+01:00Oh my, what a sky!

So I think those photos help to brighten up the mind. They too have that atmosphere of ease as in your previous post. Wonder what those people living in little towns like Banon live of... It may not be so easy. Or am I wrong?<br />But again wonderful images and thank you also for the Nick Drake.
