Flassan holiday cottage

Go wild: A series of paths called Grand Randonnee criss cross the whole of France and the Vaucluse has an abundance of these providing the most perfect walks. One such route is through the village and goes west to the Dentelles de Montmirail and east to the Sault Plateau and the Luberon hills.. In the spring and autumn anyone can join the guided walks which the village organise every Wednesday afternoon. A great way to see the country and meet the friendly Flassanaise. Cycling opportunities are limitless and there are very excellent hire shops if you can't bring your own bicycle. During the winter months there is invariably snow on Mont Ventoux. There is a small ski station on the north side of the mountain at Mont Serein, 40 minutes away. Above the village 15 minutes away there are two lifts open in the snowiest conditions. Every winter we are able to snow walk with rackets, cross country ski, picnic in the snow under blue skies and, if we are lucky, spot the shy chamois.

Wine, Provencal Markets and Food Festivals: Wine tasting in a local vineyard is must. The area is famed for its wines with the vineyards of Beaumes de Venise, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Seguret and Château Neuf du Pape nearby. The Cote de Ventoux wines produced around the village offer excellent and inexpensive alternatives. Provence has the most colourful of markets often with strolling musicians. The nearest if Bedoin - 5 kms away - each Monday morning. There is also a farmers' market each evening during the week where you can pick up local produce picked earlier in the day. The French love to celebrate their produce and this area is no exception. So there are festivals for the asparagus, the strawberry, the cherry, the lavender, the onion, the truffle, the grape and the olive to name but a few. Sometimes the judging committee dress up as the produce - to see grown men and women dressed as an asparagus or a strawberry is hilarious!

Children's activities: They can swing through trees or swim in the local lake at Mormoiron. Kayak down the River Gard or the Sourge. Visit the local miniture rail layout - it has to be the best in the world with dozens of different trains in a setting of villages, farms and miniture plants. Ride horses at the local stables (hats also provided). There are lots of acitivities that don't entail spending a fortune and of course there is always the pool.
