Location
About the surrounding area of Maison LignacAt Maison Lignac you can enjoy village life with restaurants and cafes only a stroll away, whilst being immersed in beautiful countryside.
Maison Lignac is in the heart of Lacoste - a spectacularly beautiful hill top village. Unspoilt and authentic, Lacoste is a maze of medieval cobbled streets that lead up to the hilltop castle which was once home to the Marquis de Sade but now belongs to Pierre Cardin. You can enjoy fabulous views and enjoy a music and theatre festival each summer.
Lacoste boasts amazing views across the valley to Bonnieux, a stunning hilltop village dating back to the middle Ages. Bonnieux has a fairy tale quality and is beautifully preserved. There are plenty of amenities including restaurants, cafes, bakeries, a bread museum and specialist shops and you can pick up fresh local produce at the weekly market each Friday morning.
Only a short drive away are an abundance of villages such as Roussillon for its ochre houses, Sault for its Lavender fields and L’Isle Sur la Sorgue for its canals and antique market.
Gordes is arguably the most beautiful village in France, perched on a rocky peninsula in the Vaucluse mountains at the heart of the Luberon Regional National Park. Here you will see stone houses, cobbled streets dotted with fountains and an 11th century Renaissance castle dominating the landscape. A visit to the castle's art exhibitions is a must and L’Eglise Saint Fermin Church and the Sénanque Abbey, which is surrounded by lavender fields, are truly sights worth seeing.
The splendid city of Aix-en-Provence is less than an hour’s drive from the property. Upmarket and classy with leafy boulevards lined with 17th & 18th century mansions, Aix offers chic shopping and fabulous street markets in its part pedestrianised centre. Cours Mirabeau is the 440metre long Main Boulevard. The light reflected from the warm coloured stone buildings has inspired artists such as Cézanne and here you can stroll past its magnificent fountains, centuries old trees and characterful pavement cafes.
With over 600 winegrowers in Provence there’s no shortage of vineyards to visit so look up the ‘Provence Wine Route’ to find the best places to sample wonderful rosés or the famous Chateauneuf du Pape.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesOnly a short drive from the property is the village of Roussillon which is unmissable with its incredible bright orange rocks. Children big and small will enjoy clambering along the Ochre trail (Sentier des Ochre) which starts in the middle of the village. You can take the easy or harder trail option - well signed paths through the old open pit ochre quarry will show you spectacular cliffs and structures in stunning colours. Do not forget your camera and do not wear your best clothes as it’s very dusty!
The Écomusée del l’Ocre museum offers fabulous discovery workshops all about Ochre and is suitable for all ages- art lovers will delight in finding out the secrets behind the manufacture of pastels and watercolour paintings.
Less than an hour’s drive from the property, Avignon should delight children of all ages. From the awesome Palais des Papes to the famous Pont d’Avignon there is plenty to do and see. Youngsters will love the tourist train that takes in all the main sites and will enjoy the free shuttle boat across the river to Barthelasse Island which is ideal for a picnic and run around. There are plenty of water sports to try your hand at too.
In Avignon, Market Les Halles is a fantastic covered food market and is full of scents and colour. There is even the opportunity to partake in a fun cookery course as a family in a professional kitchen – check out the Avignon tourism website for details.
A unique family adventure is to visit the ancient walled town of Les Baux. After exploring cute shops and charming cafes step down to the underground stone quarry and the site of Carrières des Lumières - a spectacular moving light show of art to the sound of music. With artwork projected on walls and floors in the darkened quarry you will feel you are inside the works of art. This is a great way to introduce your budding Van Goughs to the world of art.
Cyclists and hikers can take a break from the heat in the Forêt de Cèdre, located on a hilltop adjacent to Bonnieux. A car free cycle track and well-marked trails leads for kilometres into its heart. The shade provided by the high trees means it never gets too hot and the views are spectacular.
