Many of our guests choose to holiday in the Luberon to take advantage of the endless walking opportunities that are literally on our door step.
This map shows the walks that are marked, all starting in the village and of various lengths and to suit both casual and experienced walkers.
Not surprisingly the most popular time for walkers is Spring & Autumn avoiding the peak heat in July & August and taking advantage of the breath taking colours that each season produces.
We have a particular favourite, and with the August air cooled by a Mistral wind we set off this morning to Villars a small picturesque village about 5 kms away.
The walk meanders through Cherry Orchards and Vineyards where there is a great view of the village of St Saturnin Les Apt
The grapes are almost ready for the Vendage, normally mid September.
The fruit trees are bearing juicy plums.
And there are some lovely houses to admire
More Plums!
And very attractive houses
Approaching the village of Villars with the wash house at the entrance.
The quiet back streets of the village conceal two restaurants, a bar and boulangerie.
This cabanon provides a little refurbishment project!
Enless vines soon ready for picking
Another cabanon, still used for refuge by the farmer.
And finally home!
A beautiful Sunday and a beautiful walk!
