Each address is an ode to the Provencal art de vivre, beauty in its rawest state, and simple pleasures. Have a great vacation!
VILLENEUVE LES AVIGNON
Villeneuve les Avignon flea market
Throughout the year, the Villeneuve les Avignon flea market showcases treasures from Provence and its surroundings. Every Saturday, in the summer and all through winter, the flea market becomes the weekend's best bargain. Bring home old souvenirs that reinvent the present. Our favorite? Alain's bar and its ultra-fresh oysters.

LOURMARIN
Le Moulin
In the heart of the Lubéron, just a stone's throw from the Château de Lourmarin, the former 18th-century oil mill has been transformed into a hotel. Le Moulin welcomes its guests in an enchanting setting, surrounded by lime trees. A friendly yet chic hotel and restaurant, Bacheto, depicts an authentic and genuine Provence. Renovated by the interior design firm Jaune, it has become an inspirational local meeting spot open to all. We love its bar decorated with local hats, its grocery store called Les Commissions on the village plaza, its swimming pool, and its tours of nearby vineyards and lavender fields.

VELLERON
Velleron’s farmers' market
Located on the outskirts of Avignon, the Velleron farmers' market has become a real institution in the Vaucluse and beyond. All the local producers come together every week to proudly sell the region's finest produce to professionals and individuals alike: tomatoes, strawberries, garlic, flowers, everything smells of Provence. You can even sit down for a drink and enjoy precious encounters.

SAINT-SATURNIN-LÈS-APT
Le Saint Hubert
Shortly after meeting at La Cuisine Paris, Lise and Eric married and spent a year touring the treasures of France, uncovering the best regional producers (discover her profile in our Women of Provence article). This experience sparked the creation of Le Saint Hubert: a hotel restaurant that celebrates local and seasonal products, vibrant wines, and local art. Lise's Danish/American influence and Eric's divine cuisine in the heart of one of Lubéron’s most beautiful villages make Le Saint Hubert an unmissable Provencal destination where you will feel good.

VENASQUE
Parenthèse
In July 2017, Paris native Catherine Tisserant (discover her profile in our Women of Provence article) opened Parenthèse, a concept store in her small Provencal village of Venasque. There, she showcases all the pieces she loves that are "simply elegant". Passionate about fashion, she is obsessed with finely crafted clothes, that make you look beautiful, that you wear endlessly, love and forget about, and then put back on. She adds her favorite books, jewelry, and ceramics, which she creates herself.
Secret concept store, by appointment only.

Le Petit Chose
Simple and exquisite, Le Petit Chose is a delicious Bistro open all day long. You can enjoy the daily lunch special, a coffee or ice cream for a gourmet break, an aperitif, or a panoramic dinner that feels like a romantic rendezvous. Its terrace overlooking the hills and sunsets, its store selling regional products and its cellar of vibrant wines make it one of the hidden treasures of Venasque and Provence.

Daniel Drouin's tapestry workshop
Daniel Drouin is a tapestry-maker and an exceptional artist based in La Tuilière
in Venasque, Vaucluse. Familiar with the Manufacture des Gobelins from an
early age, he's a real wool maestro. Trained in high-warp tapestry weaving,
he translates painted works into tapestry. Using wool, cotton, linen, and even
gold thread, his work can be defined as abstract compositions between colors,
form, and textures. They are now part of major collections in New York, Dallas,
San Francisco, Geneva, and Brussels.
The Ochre Trail
“A wonderful place. Avoid the crowds that summer brings by going during the
off-season. This trail is Provence at its best. It's impossible to get enough of
the orange and olive-green colors... When you hike here, you feel completely
out of time.”
TAVEL
La Courtille
“An authentic and delicious spot, fifteen minutes from the Avignon train station. Young chef Natalia Crozon (discover her profile in our Women of Provence article) is also the partner of Thibault Pfifferling, whose family owns the Domaine de l'Anglore, in Tavel, one of the region's leading wine estates. There you can enjoy traditional and seasonal cuisine, to the sound of the fountain and under the shade of a magnificent tree”.

Mas en scène
A charming guest house in the heart of Provence, Mas en Scène thrives
on the inspirations of its creator, Bea Mombaers. The Belgian decorator
settled a few years ago in Malaucène, a quaint village, and former paper
mill town at the foot of Mont Ventoux. Everything in this Provencal farmhouse, reinvented as a temple of good taste, exudes wellness and beauty. You'll love
the garden cuisine and the Provencal "art de vivre".

The Dentelles De Montmirail
“The sentier des Ocres is often called the French Colorado, but the Dentelles
de Montmirail is also worth the detour! It's a great way to discover the beauty
of Provence, from the plains of Avignon to Mont Ventoux. Plus they're surrounded
by vineyards, where you can stop for a local wine tasting.”
