The village of Beaumes de Venise takes its name from the many caves dug into the hill ("baumes" means "caves" in Provençal). It's worth photographing: when arriving in Beaumes-de-Venise, you can see the beautiful 17th century fountain near the restaurant La Table des Balmes. As you enter the roundabout, you may have noticed the sculpture: the hands of a picker, in Crillon-le-Brave stone.
The local market is on Tuesday morning.
Typical Provençal aperitif for the holiday home:
