Around the gîtes

A Provence between mountains and villages

The hamlet of Veaux opens the door to Mont Ventoux, Vaucluse and the landscapes of the Toulourenc valley.

Four landmarks

Explore without rushing

The hamlet’s location makes it possible to alternate between nature, heritage and villages. Journey times vary according to the season and traffic conditions; the best itinerary is still the one that leaves room for the unexpected.

Village

Malaucène

A historic gateway to Mont Ventoux, with its shops, terraces and Provençal village atmosphere.

Mountain

Mont Ventoux

An iconic nature park to discover by bike or on foot along the GR long-distance trails, taking the weather and access conditions into account.

Heritage

Vaison-la-Romaine

Ancient sites, a medieval town, a market and narrow streets make up a day of history and the art of living.

Valley

Toulourenc

A valley of vineyards, forests and majestic, unspoilt villages to explore during your Provençal stay 

Villages & landscapes

Take the back roads

Brantes, Saint-Léger-du-Ventoux, Savoillans and Buis-les-Baronnies punctuate the roads across the massif. Further afield, Nyons, Orange and Avignon extend your stay with markets, heritage and Provençal culture.

Dominique and Henri can share their local knowledge and advice depending on the season.

Plan your days

Three ideas, depending on your mood

These suggestions do not impose any itinerary: they simply set the tone for the area.

Nature

A marked trail in the morning, a village in the valley at midday, then a leisurely return to the swimming pool and terrace.

Heritage

The ancient remains of Vaison-la-Romaine, a medieval town, or a detour to the monuments of Orange and Avignon.

Local produce

A Provençal market, a few producers, the vineyard landscapes and a shared dinner on the gîte terrace.

Your base

Return each evening to the hamlet of Veaux

Choose the holiday cottage that suits you and keep time to enjoy the garden, the mountains and the silence.
