• Just 15Km away you can visit St Remy-de-Provence, famous for its Roman architecture and Les Beaux, with its ruined castle and unique rock formations, is just up the road.
• Further afield but within easy reach are Pont du Gard, Avignon with the Palace of the Popes, Marseille with its famous waterfront, the Amphitheatre at Nimes and the cultured avenues of Aix-en-Provence.
