Neighborhoods

The village is medieval with stone built houses and ramparts, ideal for exploring on foot. For eating... Boulangerie des Tilleuls for lunch and dinner (in the summer) as well as great bread and rustic tarts, sweet and savoury. Le Dandelion an informal bar/restaurant Le Laurier for lunch and dinner, excellent. On Friday evenings there is a small market, and seating with a pizza van and drinks in the ramparts. Domaine la Roche Buissiere has tastings of their wines and sales on site most days. There is a charming walk of about 2km to Puymeras, a pretty village with an excellent bar, serving good food including moules frites on Thursdays!

City/town information

Our nearest town, Vaison-la-Romaine is famous for its many antiquities, and the day ticket to the museum and sites is very good value. There is a large market on Tuesdays, and a smaller producteurs market on Saturdays. All of the major supermarkets can be found there, as well as bakeries, pharmacies, and a good tourist office. Our favourite restaurant-Le Bistro Panoramique https://www.maisonsduo.com/
