MY VILLAGE FROM THE HEART

Mission preservation

An episode from the series FRENCH HERITAGE JOURNEYS (52MNS)

Synopsis

François Guyonnet was born in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. For over 30 years, he has raised awareness of the Luberon's châteaux, including the impressive Marquis de Sade family fortress.

An association promotes the village and its stunningly decorated houses in Simiane-la-Rotonde. In Saumane-de-Vaucluse, the community has saved the relics of a mysterious past.

A handful of enthusiasts restored the village of Brantes in the 1970s. Today, the hamlet's inhabitants continue this renaissance, creating projects that are more astonishing than the other.
