Among the village's attractions are a beautiful 16th century castle, many art galleries, craft shops, cafés, bars, grocery stores, and a colourful market held in the village every Friday morning. Lourmarin is also known for the writers who once lived there, Albert Camus and Henri Bosco being the most famous.
