The house is located a few kilometers from the village of Saint-Saturnin les Apt, in the Park of the Luberon between Apt and the famous village of Gordes. Within a few minutes of the house are supermarkets and stores for food shopping. The surrounding villages contain both gourmet restaurants and simple cafes. The nearby town of Apt has a colorful outdoor market each Saturday and another nearby village, L'Isle Sur Sorgue, has an equally animated outdoor food market and antique flea market every Sunday. Roussillon is also a few kilometers away. The village is worth a look especially for its red land, it has been designated as one of the most beautiful villages in France.
The house is in the country so you'll need a car. Rentals can be picked up in Avignon, at the train station or the airport. You'll get the best bargains if you arrange for the rental before you leave home. The closest highway exit is Avignon Sud on the A 7 or Cavaillon (A 7 as well). The Avignon train station is served by the TGV (Train Grande Vitesse) that goes to Paris in 2 hours and 40 minutes ! The Avignon airport has daily flights to Paris. But most international connections are made through the international airports of Marseille-Marignane or Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
