The Gites have a truly rural setting offering tranquillity, brilliant skies and pure air and face Mount Negre, the highest point of the Grand Luberon Mountains - a range that stretches for about 65 kilometres between Cavaillon, in the east, and Manosque, in the west. The larger town of Apt has four supermarkets, many shops, restaurants and boasts a large vibrant weekly Market, is just 10 minutes away. The Luberon is a beautiful region, rich in colour and outstanding natural beauty, fragrant lavender, sunflowers, olives, truffles, orchards, vineyards, wooded hills, lush green valleys, austere white limestone hills and ochre-coloured villages. It also has a long association with the worlds of History (ancient forts, spectacular abbeys, Roman architecture), Art (Van-Gough, Cezzane, Renoir), and Literature (Daudet, Pagnol, Voltaire and more recently Peter Mayle). The Luberon offers a wide range of activities, from exploring the many markets.
