Treasures of the Region
Every day a new adventure. Every visit, an unforgettable memory.
10 min
VAISON-LA-ROMAINE
A 2000-year journey in a single day. Explore France's best-preserved Roman vestiges, stroll through the perched medieval city, and end with a drink in the shady square. The Tuesday market is one of the most beautiful in Provence.
30 min
Mont Ventoux
The "Giant of Provence" peaks at 1,912 m. Legendary for cyclists worldwide, accessible to all by car. At the summit, on a clear day, the view stretches from the Alps to the Mediterranean. In summer, the coolness is welcome!
20 min
The Toulourenc Gorges
A refreshing river at the foot of Mont Ventoux. Ideal for a "feet in the water" walk (aqua-hiking) with the family, in a wild and preserved setting.
5-60 min
Perched Villages
Séguret, Le Crestet, Sablet, Gordes... These golden stone villages seem frozen in time. Cobbled streets, singing fountains, shady terraces. Each village has its character, its light, its café where time stands still.
30 min
Orange & its Antique Theatre
Step back in time to the heart of Imperial Rome. With its impressive stage wall, this theatre is the best preserved in Europe. An unmissable cultural stop.
45 - 60 min
The Classics
Less than an hour away, discover Avignon and its Popes' Palace. Don't miss the mysterious spring of Fontaine de Vaucluse and the antique dealers of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (the Provencal Venice).
