The floodlit castle at Lacoste, once the property of the Marquis de Sade and now being refurbished by Pierre Cardin, is a beautiful sight at night. The best market in the region can be found in Apt on a Saturday morning and Bonnieux hosts its own market on Fridays. The stone ramparts of Gordes, ochre cliffs of Rousillon and the high peak of Mont Ventoux are all waiting to be discovered. All this against a backdrop of lavender and sunflower fields, vineyards, orchards and groves of olive trees. And in the evening, leave the car behind and stroll from this Bonnieux village house to one of the restaurants in the village to sample the local cuisine - accompanied, of course, by a good local wine! In the heart of the village of Bonnieux close to shops and restaurants. Lacoste 3 miles. Apt 7 miles. Gordes 8 miles. Avignon (TGV) 45 mins. Marseille airport 1.25 hours, Aix en Provence 38 miles.
