The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region
The local area is known for it's stunning scenery, which provides unforgettable scenes, as well as serious challenges to climbers, cyclists and hikers. Or for something a little different, how about some hot air ballooning in nearby St Saturnin les Apt!
The area is dotted with picturesque small villages, each one with its own unique character and history, many holding markets and summer festivals. Of particular note are the unusual 'hill top' villages, such as Gordes and Les Baux de Provence.
If you fancy a bit of history, there's Avignon with the Palace Of The Popes and some of the finest Medieval architecture in Europe, or for a Roman theme, there's St Remy De Provence and Pont Du Garde nearby. Each of the towns and villages also has its own unique place in history, and it's still possible to walk the narrow winding streets of days gone by.
Alternatively, a visit to larger towns such as Apt, Isle Sur La Sorgue (famous for its anitque shops) and Cavaillon (famous for its melons) provides loads of opportunity for a whole host of activities, including theatre, shopping and bustling markets.
