Travel to Avignon in Provence
Leaving from the Mas de Capelou, between a 5 minute and 1 hour drive, we can suggest :
- Travel to Avignon : the Popes´ Palace, the famous bridge, museums, many architectural monuments, the Theatre Festival in July, excursions on the Rhône river, etc...
- Villeneuve lez Avignon : the Philippe Le Bel Tower, the Pontifical Charterhouse, the Saint-André Fort, Notre Dame collegiate church.
- Orange : the Roman Amphitheatre, the triumphal arch, museum, the Chorégies opera festival, etc...
- The Vaucluse and wine-making : Châteauneuf du Pape and its famous vineyards, Beaumes de Venise, Vacqueyras, Cairanne, Rasteau... the Wine Road and the Côtes du Rhône wines.
- The Luberon, the Monts du Vaucluse, the typical villages : Gordes (bories, the old, dry stone constructions, etc...), the Sénanque Abbey (a 12th century abbey in an exceptional setting), Venasque (its architecture, viewpoint), Rustrel (the Colorado of Provence), Roussillon (ochre quarries, panoramas, colours), Bonnieux (monuments, panoramas), Lacoste (Marquis de Sade´s chateau), Buoux, Ménerbes, Oppède, Sivergues (in fact, all the villages of the Luberon), the Fontaine de Vaucluse (the most important resurgence of underground water in Europe, canoeing and kayaking), Isle sur la Sorgue (the network of canals, the antiques market).
- The Mont Ventoux and surrounding areas : many hiking and mountain biking itineraries, contrasted landscapes... From the summit of the "Giant of Provence", on a clear day it is possible to see the Mediterranean. Near the village of Mormoiron you will find an "accrobranch" circuit, Sault (the gorges of the Nesque, the Toulourenc Valley, etc...), Vaison la Romaine (superb archaeological site).
- In the Alpilles : Baux de Provence (medieval village, the cathedral of images, panoramas), Saint Rémy de Provence (Roman archaeological site), Eygalières (château, a typical setting), Fontvieille (the writer Daudet´s mill, church), the Montmajour Abbey, Arles, Tarascon, Saintes-Maries de la Mer, the Camargue natural park.
- And then a small incursion in the Gard : the Pont du Gard aqueduct, the Duchy of Uzès, the steam train of the Cévennes, Anduze (pottery, bamboo plantation), Nîmes (the arena, the Roman town).
