Just a few minutes away is the heart of one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, Venasque, a beautiful and historical Provençal village in an equally stunning location on the edge of a rocky peak. There are a few shops, cafes and restaurants and in the summer flowers fill the narrow, steep streets. Make sure you sample some of the delicious local cherries if you are staying in the early summer.
Head to Carpentras on a Friday morning for its unmissable market and don’t miss the lively city of Avignon during your stay with its two UNESCO world heritage sites.
Furthermore, you are perfectly located for the glorious Luberon region and archetypal Provencal villages such as Bonnieux, Roussillon and Van Gogh’s beloved Gordes, another one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages.
The wine routes nearby are incredible whilst other more family friendly activities include horse-riding and tree-top activity centres nearby plus a zoo and model railway both within an hours drive.
