The small village of Grillon is located in the heart of an area steeped into history: Avignon, Vaison-la-Romaine, Carpentras, Orange etc... There is also a rich cultural heritage: Orange and the 'Chorégies' (lyric music festival), Grignan and the Correspondence Festival, the Festival of Avignon. Regarding the wines, we are at the crossroad for various vintages: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueiras and of course all the Côtes du Rhône. In spring and autumn, we enjoy the corridas (bullfight) in Arles, 90 min from the house. A day at the beach of the 'Saintes Maries de la Mer' is a must. And finally, from November to February, it is truffle time. Every year, on the third Sunday of January, in the small village of Richerenches, a Mass is celebrated, during which, truffles are offered by the parishioners. After the Mass, there is an auction sale, for all these truffles. For the most energetic, we won't forget the climbing of the Ventoux Mountain.
