With low cost airline flights (e.g. Ryanair, EasyJet) to Marseille and Nimes (FlyBE to Avignon), why not consider a short break to Cucuron (e.g. Thursday to Monday)? Fast Eurostar and TGV links mean the train journey from London to Aix TGV station is just 7 hours. Car rental is widely available at airports and stations. Situated at the edge of the Luberon National Park, this is paradise for walkers and lovers of the outdoors. Nearby Lourmarin, designated one of the 'most beautiful villages in France', has a bustling Friday market. There are more villages to explore north of the Luberon including Bonnieux, Menerbes and Gordes. Yet the buzz and culture of the university town of Aix en Provence is only 30 minutes drive with historic Avignon some 60 minutes away. For those who cannot resist the Mediterranean, the port and beach at Cassis is just over an hour. During the summer, check out the art exhibitions and music festivals which are arranged throughout the region.
