The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region
The restaurants and village shops that can supply almost everything you might need for day to day living are just a stroll from the house. There's plenty to see and do in the area: pretty hilltop villages, the Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard, Roman amphitheatres in Orange, Nimes, Arles and Vaison la Romaine - wineries and caves throughout the Cotes du Rhone and Cotes du Ventoux region with names like Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, Beaumes de Venise to tempt the most discerning wine enthusiast.
Avignon is about just over half an hour away – it’s a walled city bustling with an eclectic and vibrant mix of culture and chic. You can drive up into the hills around Sault to see the lavender fields, set like jewels against the blue skies - springtime wild flowers reward the walkers and cyclists – bargain hunters will love the flea markets as well as the antiques and bric-a-brac at L’isle sur la Sorgue and the Mediterranean coast is within easy reach for a harbour side lunch or you can take a leisurely lunch aboard a riverboat down the Rhone from Avignon to Arles. It is all here for you to enjoy at your own pace!
The scenery is fantastic whether you’re on foot, bicycle or driving and every day there are local markets simply bursting with fresh local produce including asparagus, strawberries, cherries, apricots, peaches, melons, tomatoes, olives, goats cheeses, honey, oil……… the list is endless and too delicious for words!
