This location has the convenience of a village setting, but is also great for exploring the surrounding countryside.
The local landscape is dominated by vineyards, country roads and quaint villages, all overlooked by the giant of Mont Ventoux.
This is a 2000m summit that is famous for the challenge it poses to serious cyclists. If you are in the car, it also makes for a great day out with stunning views on a clear day!
If you like local Provencal markets, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Bedoin Carpentras, Vaison, Mazan are well known for the excellent Paysan Markets where you will find local produce, grown and sold by some real characters!
There are also plenty of well known wine routes - Vaqueras, Gigondas, Cotes du Ventoux and Cahteauneuf du Pape are all within a thirty minute drive (Just make sure you have decided who’s driving back!)
If you are sporty there's cycling, walking, rock climbing, horse riding, golf, quad biking, canoeing and Paragliding within 30 mins drive
