Pernes Les Fontaines 19 km from the holiday home
The advantage of Pernes les Fontaines is that you can pick up a card at the tourist office to walk along the 41 fountains. In the meantime, you pass the medieval ramparts, through the steep streets you pass the 2 watchtowers at the level of the bridge over the Nesque.
On Wednesday evening there is the market with local products and on Saturday morning the Provençal market with around 50 stallholders.
Just outside the center is the recent Solence wine estate. Created in 1992, Anne-Marie and Jean-Luc were the first in the region to launch into organic wine. Tasty prices and quality wines, including a white or rosé sparkling wine. In the modern cellar you can taste the different wines and buy stock for the holiday home :) You can easily "mix" with the different wines.
Do you prefer action? Then you can go to Parc Spirou, a little quieter than lac de Monteux, or at Thouzon Caves with their impressive yellow and golden stalactites.
