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

Bories

Visit the Village de Bories, just outside Gordes. The Village de Bories consists of the typical stone shepherd huts shaped like cones. Wander around and see how 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 car park called ‘Parking Palais des Papes’. This underground car park is underneath the Palais des Papes square and so when you surface, you greeted with an awe inspiring view of 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, bread, olives, have lunch in one of the many cafes.

Lavender fields

Drive along the country roads that go up and over the Plateau de Vaucluse to Sault, famous for its lavender fields. Go at the beginning of July to see the area awash in the colour purple, or go on 15th August for the Fete de 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 cafes.

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, Oppede 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 into 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 at 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 once 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!

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!
