Away from it all
With a party of five and a dog, we had a great holiday. It was very hot (36 degrees Celcius) and we mostly had to stay inside during the warm hours of the day (11 am till 6 pm) Luckily, there was an extra bedroom and living room available, otherwise the house would have been a bit small. Living outside, even reading a book on the terrace, was not possible during most part of the day. Also, we had to be very careful with the water. We were warned that the well could dry out out during our stay (the nice lady of the house made sure we had almost 20 bottled of mineral water just in case). Thank god it didn’t happen.
Apart from these weather conditions, the environment is truly beautiful. The view from the house is nothing less than spectacular. After a short walk you get to the village where there’s always a festive mood. Do visit the bakery, they make sourdough bread and baguettes every day: so delicious! The way back up is a bit more challenging, especially in the heat. You will definitely need a car to explore the surroundings, public transportation is not a strong point in this region. Cool down in the river Sorgue, you can play and swim 3 kilometers from the house. We also drove all the way to Arles, Avignon, Marseille and -our favourite- Aix-en-Provence. A bit closer is L’Isle sur la Sorgue, such a cosy little town with good restaurants (much better than the ones in Fontaine de Vaucluse). All in all, we really enjoyed our stay.
