Lourmarin is referred to as a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence Alpes-Cote d'Azur. I thought of it aa a small town or village in the Luberon part of Provence. It is a great place to stay because of it's easy access to other destinations in the area that are frequently loaded with tourists. It also has a restaurant that was one of the best dining experiences of my last 34 days in all of France. It's name is Numero Neuf. I addition to Numero Neuf Leurmarin has many galleries and shops selling local artisan foods, clothing and wines.

The highest waterfall in Paris is located in Parc des Buttes Chaumont.

Rue Obscure is a short tunnel that was once a street in beautiful Villefranche Sur Mer. Both the waterfront town and it's obscure street can transport the pedestrian visitor to another time.
