A View of St. Saturnin and the Church Steeple

(click on picture for larger image)

This is the town of St. Saturnin in the Luberon valley.  The rock cliff to the right actually goes higher and has an old church at its pinnacle that is no longer used for worship.  It is being restored as a museum.  The steeple and belfry visible here, is the working church in St. Saturnin, and the Luberon stretches away into the distance.

This wrought iron belfry is very Provencal in design.  This particular one is on the active church in the village of Eygalieres.  In days gone by, villagers lived their lives according to the clock tower and church bells, and here, like in many villages, the two instrument to mark the times of the day are combined in one.
