Tuesday market at Gordes, Visit Abbaye de Senanque. Can also visit the villages of the Luberon made famous by Peter Mayle – Bonnieux, Lacoste, Menerbes.
Weds hiking to Le Beaucet with lunch.
HINT: Taking a quiet day will get you into the spirit of Provencal life. Meet the villagers. Play boules at the Rempart walls with the locals in the cooler evening. They will show you how if you ask. (There are boules in a canvas bag in a flower pot under the counter in the kitchen)
HINT: Dinner with Christien at the Auberge is a fabulous treat. For smaller appetites, there is a petite menu. He is famous for his use of truffles – always a delight. He will give cooking lessons at almost any time, and in English if you want.
