Recently renovated, the property has beautiful high ceilings throughout and is split between a comfortable contemporary living room, spacious dining area, well-appointed kitchen and four bedrooms, all on one level.

Outside, there are covered seating areas for you to enjoy alfresco dining and family time in a sociable 'Provençal' atmosphere. Let's not also forget the large 12m x 6m heated* swimming pool which is set in terracing which benefits from plenty of privacy and surrounded by trees for natural shade.

Belle Plume is located in the renowned Luberon mountain region, which is ideal for climbing, walking or mountain biking, and only within a 15 minute drive from a wide variety of quality restaurants and shops in Gordes (8km). A stroll around this historic town is a must do to buy essential supplies for breakfast and lunch, or enjoy an apéritif and dinner in one of the many restaurants. On days when you wish to explore, you will find the opportunities are plenty. The Luberon Valley teems with gorgeous scenery and pretty, colourful villages such as the ochre toned Roussillon (10km). To the west, L'Isle sur la Sorgue (18km), the Venice of Provence, attracts antique lovers eager to discover an original in the many shops that line the canals. Or follow the country lanes behind Gordes which lead to the Abbaye de Sénanque, on to the Gorges de la Nesque, and to Sault, the town surrounded by the sweet smelling fields of lavender. Marseille airport is 70km.

Locality

Great Things to Do Near Belle Plume

Visit the Village des Bories just outside Gordes

Bories are traditional dry stone shepherds' huts shaped like cones, typical of this region. Wander around the cluster of huts comprising the 'village' and see what life was like many years ago.

Sunday market

On Sunday, get up early and go to L’Isle sur la Sorgue where there is the most amazing market that goes on until lunchtime. Home to the most number of antique shops outside of Paris, Sundays see the streets filled with antique dealers selling their wares, as well as a fantastic Provençal market where you can buy everything from fresh fruit and olives to handmade soaps and artwork.

Follow the small back roads

out of Gordes towards Murs, then down through the Col du Murs and the Foret de Venasque, into the village of Venasque itself. Go in May and you will see hundreds of cherry trees in bloom.

Avignon

A must-do on any list is a trip to Avignon (1hr drive), the capital of the Vaucluse. Head for the underground car park called ‘Parking Palais des Papes’, and when you emerge, you are greeted with an awe inspiring view of the Palais des Papes square and the Palais itself.

Lourmarin

in the Grand Luberon, is a very pretty village, dominated by its chateau. Visit the chateau or explore the narrow streets lined with art galleries, cafes, and craft shops. Try the local sweet snack called gibassier which is a sweet cookie made with olive oil, shaped like an oval leaf and about a foot long.

Visit Apt on a Saturday for the weekly market,

or between April and October on a Tuesday morning too. Once you are stocked up on fresh fruit and veg, crusty bread and olives, have lunch in one of the many cafés.

Lavender fields

Drive along the country roads that go up and over the Plateau de Vaucluse to Sault, famous for its lavender fields. From the beginning of July the area is awash with the colour purple, or if you go on 15th August you can catch the Fête de la Lavande, held in Sault itself.

Red, yellow and orange

Visit Roussillon (15km) – home to rock formations, and the most vivid red hued soil you will have ever seen. The colours span the spectrum of reds, oranges and yellows and are truly amazing. The village itself is a delight to wander around with its arty shops and lovely cafés.

So many books have been written about Provence.

Take some with you and let the towns and villages come to life. ‘A Year in Provence’ by Peter Mayle, 'Jean de Florette' and 'Manon des Sources' by Marcel Pagnol are a few that spring to mind. You are not far from the restored villages of Ménerbes and Oppède le Vieux where much of ‘A Year in Provence’ was based.

Count the fountains

Take the children to Pernes Les Fontaines to count the fountains. There are 40 in total dotted around the village. To help you, the town’s tourist office has printed a map on which they are all marked.

Choose a clear day

and drive to the top of Mont Ventoux (you can cycle but it is so much easier driving!). Take a jumper, as even in the summer it is cold at the top. There are lots of picnic spots on the way up with large information panels about the amazing and varied flora and fauna that you can find on the mountain.

Take a stroll around Gordes

Gordes is one of the most beautiful villages in the Luberon valley. It can get quite busy during the day but the beauty of staying nearby means you can avoid the crowds and pop in whenever you want to, escaping back to your own garden and pool.

St Rémy de Provence

For a slight change in scenery, go to St Rémy de Provence (just under 1hr’s drive), at the bottom of the Alpilles hills. A chic and pretty town, for a time it was home to Van Gogh. Follow the self-guided walking trail around the town – 21 signposts are dotted around the town, each with a reproduction of one of his paintings and an explanation in French and English.

Visit Les Baux de Provence

- great for both children and adults. Take the audio tour and discover the history behind this amazing ruin on top of a huge rock! Don't miss the Carrières de Lumières attraction nearby, where still and moving images are beautifully projected onto all the walls and floors of a former quarry.

Sip a glass of rosé wine

sitting on the terrace on a summer’s evening and listen to the sound of the cigales, whilst deciding what to do tomorrow!

Lourmarin

in the Grand Luberon, is a very pretty village, dominated by its château. Visit the château or explore the narrow streets lined with art galleries, cafés, and craft shops. Try the local sweet snack called 'gibassier' which is a sweet cookie made with olive oil, shaped like an oval leaf and about a foot long.
