- The Dentelles de Montmirail, teeth like limestone cliffs against a skyblue background, culminating at 627 meters, ideal for rock climbing. Ruins of a 17th century Saracen tower.
- The Mont Ventoux, the "Giant of Provence" at 1912 meters, where Petrarch said "Surprised by the immensity of the show, I could not move as though struck by stupor".
- Beaumes de Venise and its famous Muscatel, produced by the Muscat grape, which will delight the most subtle palate with its fruity flavor.
- Seguret, classified as one of the "most beautiful villages of France".
- Vaison La Romaine, the High Town, the medieval city, its sloping lanes, and small squares enlivened by Comtadine fountains, dominated by the ruins of a 12th century castle. The Roman bridge.
- Carpentras, capital of the Country of Venaisson, its old stones speak of the magic of its history-filled past, the market dedicated to the black truffle, and for those with a sweet tooth, the "berlingot", a hard candy speciality.
- Orange, the Antique Theater and famous stage, the Choral Festival : les Chorégies.

How about visiting a Provençale market one morning ?
Every Tuesday in Vaison-la-Romaine, Beaumes de Venise, Friday in Carpentras. Every Thursday in Orange, Cairanne and Vacqueyras. Without forgetting the famous antique market in Isle sur la Sorgue on Sunday. |
|
A walk in the afternoon ?
Breath in the scents of thyme, rosemary, broom, while wandering, on foot or by bike, along the numerous paths in this classified zone. The beauty of the lake of Paty, a place of reverie as well, will enchant all nature lovers. |
For the athletic amongst you
Golf, tennis, rock climbing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking, cycling are in close proximity. |
