Overview

Great Value
Ideal for Kids All Bedrooms En-Suite

This peaceful retreat near Saignon has superb views over the valley towards the splendour of the Luberon Mountains.

Maison Eau Des Baux exudes warmth and comfort with each room prettily furnished. There are four bright bedrooms, a light filled living room and a modern well-equipped kitchen with a spacious table for laying out your Provençal delights.

Stroll into the charming garden filled with Mediterranean trees and shrubs, blending so well into the surrounding countryside. Lounge by the heated pool, play a game of pétanque or enjoy the views from the charming plant filled dining area beneath the awning.

Head to the boulangerie in Saignon for your morning coffee and croissants, before climbing the rock for a glimpse of the snowy cap of Mont Ventoux. The village used to be a look out for the charming town of Apt, which has a great Saturday market. From here you can see the fields of lavender on the horizon.

The Luberon has many hiking and biking trails while wine lovers can explore the local vineyards and wineries. There are so many exquisite villages nearby as well as day trips to Les Alpilles, Avignon and sunny Aix-en-Provence.

Maison Eau Des Baux is situated near Saignon in the Vaucluse region of southeast France.

Climb the rock at Saignon above Apt and on a clear day you might glimpse the snow topped Mont Ventoux. The Saturday market in Apt is one of the best in Provence, so try and shop here first before visiting the supermarket just outside town.

There are so many other exquisite villages to visit nearby such as Bonnieux, Roussillon and Gordes. Drive southwards through the Luberon forests to Lourmarin, one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages nestled beneath the hills or northwards towards the lavender fields of Sault.

Hikers will love exploring the ochre colours of the beautiful Colorado Provençal at Rustrel. There are so many outdoor activities to enjoy in the Luberon all within magnificent landscapes. You might want to explore further afield by heading westwards into Les Alpilles or southwards towards sun-drenched Aix-en-Provence.

Region

With some of the most enchanting landscapes of Provence, the Luberon awaits with its idyllic perched villages, swathes of lavender, cherry trees, vineyards and dense forest.

Become captivated by the scenery as you potter around artistic Gordes with its atmospheric Tuesday morning market before heading to hilltop Ménerbes, the village that inspired Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year in Provence’. Romantic Bonnieux enjoys the most glorious vistas, surrounded by a sea of vines and orchards, whilst red-hued Roussillon will take your breath away with its ochre landscapes and pine forests. They are all officially classified as ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ in France.

Yet there are so many hidden gems to explore as well. Discover the historic doorways, windmills and summer cherries of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, then head to Goult to embrace its Provençal charm with little shops and pavement cafes. Surrounded by fields of lavender, Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt is another historic jewel of the Luberon, often overshadowed by the handsome and historic town of Apt.

To the south of the Luberon, follow Albert Camus’ footsteps in Lourmarin, sip coffee by the picturesque bassin lined with plane trees in Cucuron and soak up the history of Ansouis – all three villages have a fine reputation for their high-end dining with a choice of Michelin starred restaurants.

Indeed, across the region look out for restaurant terraces serving Provençal cuisine with superb vistas alongside characterful markets showcasing seasonal delights from the Luberon and beyond (olives, melons, strawberries, cherries, truffles, chestnuts, lavender products and more). Most villages host a lovely weekly market whilst the largest in the Luberon is held on a Saturday morning in Apt. Just on the edge of the Luberon, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is famed for its antique stores and Sunday morning brocante. Meanwhile, wine lovers should visit the vineyards and wineries of the region producing Luberon and Ventoux AOC wines.

The walking, hiking and cycling opportunities in the Luberon seem endless and you will also find horse-riding, rock-climbing and tree-top adventures as well as canoeing and kayaking along the Sorgue near Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Come across hiking trails for all abilities passing vineyards and forest or venture through the hills and mountain gorges for spectacular scenery. Cycling is also extremely popular – as well as more challenging routes, we especially love the family-friendly Véloroute du Calavon, a paved voie verte following a former railway line near the Calavon river passing poppies, lavender and orchards so typical of the Luberon.

Kids

Best Suited For: All Ages
Ideal for Kids Ideal for Teens

The Luberon will delight families with a wealth of activities for the most active of guests from family walks passing orchards, vineyards and farms to hiking, biking, horse-riding and more.

The nearby village of Buoux is known for its rock-climbing opportunities whilst Saignon is home to the impressive Le Rocher de Bellevue where you can experience the most sensational views, close to the gorgeous lavender fields. The underground tunnels and art galleries of Mines de Bruoux is another fascinating trip out.

Colorado Aventures, around 13km away, offers tree-top trails for children aged 7+ (height restrictions also apply) and there are smaller trails for youngsters aged 3+ as well as laser games (8+) and jumping (10+).

In the other direction, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse is home to another tree-top adventure centre, Passerelles des Cîmes, as well as a watersports centre offering canoeing and kayaking along the Sorgue River.

Other family attractions include the amusement park Parc Grimmland (35km) and Le Village Des Automates (45km) as well as the popular and large Zoo Barben (50km).
