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.

Steeple Dominates Skyline of Saignon

Like most mountain-top villages, the steeple of the Catholic church is the highest point in the village, and the church is built on the highest point. It would be a major chore to walk to church on Sunday morning.
