La Bouquière

The Luberon


On a side road off the D149, surrounded by orchards and vineyards, this rural hideaway has three country-charming rooms with a mishmash of rustic antiques, all opening onto flower-filled gardens. The three-room apartment is ideal for families. There’s a three- or four-night minimum in summer. It’s about 5km northeast of the village, and tricky to find, so call for directions.
