Aux alentours
Le Mont Ventoux:
Mont-Ventoux, nick-named the Giant of Provence or the Bald Mountain, is the culminating point
of the Vaucluse mountains. Detached from the Alps like an outpost, overlooking the plain of the upper
contat to 1.912 m. Due to its particular situation and its rich fauna and flora, Mont Ventoux
is a rich and fragile environment, as evidenced by its ranking as a biosphere reserve
by UNESCO and the Natura 2000 by the European Union .
Ballad of Ochre:
A very beautiful walk in the shade of pines and oak woods in the old ochre quarry
of Villes sur Auzon, you will discover magnificent rocky cliffs of red and yellow ochres. As
you enter the "sitos du Vallat", you will find yourself in a small narrow canyon that winds for 250 meters where you can discover
many sculptures and carvings on the walls of purple ochre ...
And why not finish the walk by the lake, des Salettes de Mormoiron, where you can swim and relax with a picnic.
Provence markets:
The Provencal markets' reputation is well known, especially in our region. For several centuries it was dubbed "the garden of France ".
Markets are a festival of tastes, smells, sounds, meetings ...
Spices, thyme, bay leaves, lavender, olives, strawberries, cherries, melons, the list is endless ...
So many products to discover and enjoy with your family.
We recommend the Bedoin market every Monday morning, and that of Carpentras on Friday, the Isle sur la Sorgue
on Sunday morning followed by the flea market in the afternoon.
Here a list of the regional markets.
