Sometimes we take a holiday too. In the past few years this has often been to the south of France, where small unspoilt villages nestle between the sea and hills. Here we were lucky enough to buy a small maison village in the Luberon, a natural and cultural park in the hills between Avignon and Aix en Provence.

Who brought us to the Luberon was Albert Camus, buried at Lourmarin, who bought a house here in the nineteen fifties after he won the Nobel prize, perhaps finding in the light of the south of France memories of his Algerian childhood.

The town's name is Saignon, 4 km from Apt, if you want to look it up on the map. A total of 1,000 inhabitants, an eleventh century church, three squares and several fountains. Our maison is in the Place de l’Eglise, and, at the rear, faces on to the village’s main road, Rue de la Bourgade.
On the ground floor there is a large living room with a dining table, a kitchen area (with an oven, a microwave oven and a dishwasher) and a small laundry room (with a washing machine).
On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom (with a bath).
On the second floor there is a large room with four beds and a bathroom (with a shower).
Each floor is 45 square metres.

Holiday in Luberon involves spending time amongst nature ranging from areas of wilderness on the top of the highest hills to farm land spread with vineyards and cherry trees, with the splashes of colour made by the fields of lavender making this countryside unforgettable.
One can make day trips to the sea (to Cassis or the Calanque of Marseilles or other beautiful and less well known beaches) or one can go canoeing in the nearby rivers (Sorgue, Ardeche, Verdun).
Avignon, Aix en Provence and Marseilles are 45 minutes drive away and nearer to reach the small villages of Luberon amply repay a visit. These villages hold festivals and put on evenings of music and theatre (often of a very high quality). These things and good food and wine will make your stay very interesting culturally as well.
