The peace and quiet here is exceptional… nothing but vines and the Lace Mountains. Amidst this haven of nature there are some great walks to go on round our house which will take you through vineyards, cherry orchards and olive groves with amazing views of Le Barroux & its castle and Mont Ventoux – all this to the ever present music of Provence : the cicadas
