Geography edit
Ansouis is located between the Luberon massif and the Durance river.
History edit
A fortress was first built in the city in the 10th century, and has since been modified three times: once in the 13th century and again in the 15th and 19th centuries.
Ansouis is classified as one of The Most Beautiful Villages in France.
Demographics edit
The population, after peaking at 1,029 people in 1841, declined to only 463 people in 1931. It has since rebounded to 1,105 in 2006.
