There also is a wide choice of shopping and restaurants in the nearby town of Apt which has one of the best of the area's provencal markets on Saturday mornings.

The house is in a peaceful countryside situation just 10 minutes walk from the village for your early morning croissant or evening aperitif. There is a panoramic south facing view from the house right across the Luberon valley to the mountains beyond, the ruined chateau of Lacoste, beautifully illuminated at night and the perched village of Bonnieux . The house is well located for exploring the Luberon valley or simply relaxing by the pool or in the large garden
