In the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, the characterful village of Puyricard offers an authentic escape in the heart of Provence with easy access to the region’s cultural and natural wonders.
Le Petit Flamingo is located just on the edge of the Puyricard in an attractive neighbourhood, less than a 10-minute walk to the village centre with its little shops and restaurant terraces. There’s a small grocery store for basic supplies and a larger supermarket within a 5-minute drive, as well as the Friday morning market. Just outside the village, visit Chocolaterie de Puyricard (1km) and tour its factory and stock up in their amazing shop (ask about French speaking workshops too).
Just a 15-minute drive south lies Aix-en-Provence (8km), a refined city of fountains, leafy boulevards and artistic heritage. Stroll along the Cours Mirabeau, sip rosé at a café terrace or delve into Cézanne’s legacy at his former studio. The city’s vibrant markets , museums and shops provide a perfect contrast to Puyricard’s slower ambience, offering guests the best of both worlds.
Also a short drive away, the majestic Montagne Sainte-Victoire dominates the skyline, a favourite of Cézanne and a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Lace up your boots for scenic hikes through pine-scented trails, explore sleepy stone villages nestled along its slopes, or spend the afternoon wine-tasting at prestigious estates like Château Gassier and Domaine Terre de Mistral. The blend of wild beauty and rural tradition here is pure Provence.
Venture north to the Luberon and discover the golden-hued villages of Lourmarin (25km), Ansouis (30km) and Cucuron (32km). These enchanting hilltop spots are rich in character, with cobbled lanes, shaded squares and a strong sense of place. Stop for a leisurely lunch (all three villages are home to Michelin starred restaurants), browse local craft shops or simply soak up the slow pace of village life amidst the region’s iconic landscapes of olive groves, vines and almond orchards.
And for those craving the sea, a day trip to the Mediterranean is around an hour away by car. The pastel harbour town of Cassis (58km) is a particular delight, known for its excellent wine, pretty harbourside and cliffside trails, also the gateway to the Parc national des Calanques.
