| A walk and picnic this morning with a choice of two circuits depending on the weather. Both walks are guided. Either walk along the Veroncole Gorge from the village of Murs discovering the remains of various water mills or from Goult follow the footpath from the village to discover the landscape shaped by traditional terrace cultivation.
This afternoon visit the beautiful ochre coloured village of Roussillon with spectactular walks through the old ochre quarries before returning for dinner. We include also a visit to the Conservatoire des Ochres for an explanation of how ochre was produced and used in decorative materials. |
This morning visit the village des Bories, an open air museum of the traditional dry stone shelters built by local peasants and shepherds. Then on to the stunning village of Gordes, 'un des plus beaux villages de France' perched high above the valley with superb views. The local village market this morning is full of the scents and colours of Provence.
Free time this afternoon to explore more of the Luberon villages in your own time. Maybe include Lacoste, with its ruined Chateau of the Marquis de Sade, and Bonnieux which tumbles down the hillside or maybe a stroll in the Cedar Forest high on the Luberon hills.
At 4pm its time for your second cooking class followed by aperitif and dinner. |
