Ansouis (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃swi(s)]; Occitan: Ansoís) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.[3]
Ansouis is located between the Luberon massif and the Durance river.
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 a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (The Most Beautiful Villages of France) Association.
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.
