What to do in Provence
Provence, a region in southeastern France bordering Italy and the Mediterranean Sea, is known for vineyards, olive groves, and lavender fields. Here are a few activities we recommend during your stay:
Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque
45 mins from the Chateau
Check out the famous lavender while it's in bloom.
The monks make a living from the fields, and also keep honey bees.
Ogier
20 mins from the Chateau
Chateauneuf-du-Pape. We loved this town. Full of places to taste local wine and feels like Sonoma in France. If you decide to spend time here we encourage you to look into wine tasting tours by bike or bus.
Gordes
45 mins from the Chateau
Named the most beautiful village in France, a jumble of terracotta rooftops, church towers and winding lanes, it's a living postcard.
L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
30 mins from the Chateau
L'Isle sur la Sorgue is one of those places in Provence that one has to see. This "island city" lies at the foot of the Vaucluse plateau in the plains of Comtat Venaissin.
