Etang de la Bonde
Etang de la bonde is one of the most beloved spots in the South Luberon for relaxing by the water. It can be reach on foot directly from the house, via a peaceful walk through olive groves: a gentle stroll that already feels like a moment out of time. Once there, everyone enjoys the lake at their own pace: swimming in clear refreshing water, walking along the shoreline, paddle boarding, or simply soaking up the sun. Several restaurants set around the water’s edge invite you to linger, whether for a relaxed lunch or a dinner with Provençal flavors. An ideal place to combine nature, simplicity, and the pleasure of slowing down.
Aix en Provence
Just 30 minutes away, Aix-en-Provence is perfect for an elegant visit to a city of art and history. Wander its paved streets, admire the golden stone mansions and refreshing fountains, and experience the Provençal lifestyle, with the soothing sound of water and the shade of plane trees. It’s the ideal escape for strolling, discovering culture, and enjoying a sophisticated and bright city.
Gordes
Just 50 minutes away, Gordes is a majestic sight and one of the true gems of the Luberon. Its stone-paved alleys wind through a maze of dry-stone walls, revealing breathtaking views of the valley around every corner. It’s a timeless stopover where you can admire architecture that blends perfectly into the cliffside and soak in a landscape that is both grand and peaceful.
The Colorado Provençal in Rustrel
About 1 hour from the house, the Colorado Provençal in Rustrel, reveals a landscape that is as surprising as it is spectacular. Shaped by ochre and the elements, this site displays vibrant shades ranging from golden yellow to deep red, creating an almost otherworldly setting often compared to the vast landscapes of the American West.
Le Sentier des Ocres de Roussillon

The well-maintained trails wind between colorful cliffs and pine trees, creating an easy yet immersive stroll shaped by the ever-changing tones of ochre.
