Venterol is a protected hillside Drome wine village in the Cotes-du-Rhone region near Nyons, Valreas & Vaison-la-Romaine. Olive orchards climb surrounding hills & lavender fields colour the valley below. Our village lies on the southern side of small mountains bisected by streams filled with fossils & many popular hiking trails. Wild boar, chamois & fox are seen on back mountain lanes still used by sheep and goat herders. Venterol, as with so many neighbouring villages in Drome Provencal, is surrounded by vineyards and welcoming wine tasting 'caveaux'. Nyons right next door has a huge municipal state- of- the- art Swim centre for family fun and recreation. Closeby streams and waterfalls provide additional picnic/swim opportunities. Prefer cultural activities to nature?? Avignon, Arles are not far away, both beside the nearby Rhone.

Local activities swimming, tennis, walking, cycling, horse riding, mountain biking, mountaineering, paragliding

What is Venterol like?

Venterol is a protected hillside Cotes-du-Rhone wine village with its own cafe, post office, restaurant and small grocery with a baker creating morning-fresh croissants/baguettes. It has arcaded narrow streets, traditional laundry 'lavoirs' and a lovely church with one of the best wrought iron campanilis you'll ever see. A vast lavender harvest occurs in mid-July with countless tiny distilleries perfuming the air. There are sunflower fields and olive, apricot and cherry orchards. Elderly ladies still watch flocks near the mountain slope hamlets behind Venterol. Village summer festivities feature fireworks, music, dining and dancing. One of Provence's liveliest Market Days occurs every Thursday in Nyons right next door.

What cultural and recreational activities exist?

Nyons (1.7K) has a cinema, many cafes and restaurants, an outdoor theater, tennis, supermarkets, banking & services... plus one of Provence's best Market Days. Wine tasting is everywhere! Hike or horseback ride, following high altitude paths of the WW2 French Resistance. There are music, opera & dance spectaculars in Vaison-la-Romaine, Orange, Arles and (a day trip) Nimes. Avignon's Festival, only an hour away, is home to a huge number of theatrical productions. There's a gigantic outdoor Municipal Swim Center with cafe ...a great place for cool family fun. Another memorable public pool is found beneath the Marquise-de-Sevigny's huge Renaissance castle at Grignan. Or you can swim and hunt fossils in mountain streams right behind our village.

Where is Venterol situated?

Venterol is located near the Rhone, on the southern edge of the Drome Provencal and Vaucluse, in the Region of Rhone-Alpes. We are on an interesting climatic divide: To our south, a warm and dry 'Midi' climate extends past Mt. Ventoux, through the Plateau of Vaucluse and the Luberon, to the sea. To our north, reaching up to the very high mountains of Vercors, the climate is cooler and vegetation greener. Flocks graze the slopes. Corn grows. Sunflower and poppie fields appear. Venterol is close to the Rhone and the Gorges of Ardeche to the west. In the same direction, Valreas & the Enclave of the Popes is 8 minutes away.

Other Activities wine tasting, Provence market days, antique hunting at Isles-sur-la-Sorgue

'We had a wonderful time in Provence this summer. Venterol is a lovely village, far exceeding expectations..... quiet, and feels untouched, while being a great base for day tripping. We felt comfortable allowing our girls to roam.'.....also very satisfied with your gite and facilities, perfect for our family of six. You have done a superb job of restoring..... thoroughly charming inside and out'.....'Lastly, your friendly hospitality played a big part in making our stay so enjoyable. The stay was too short and we look forward to visiting Venterol for longer next year. Thanks'
A.& S. McKinney

' We wanted to thank you for the wonderful week we spent in Venterol. It was the highlight of our entire trip.
