ABOUT THE AREA



France seduces travellers with its unfalteringly familiar culture, woven around cafe terraces, village-square markets and lace-curtained bistros with their plat du jour (dish of the day) chalked on the board.

France is about world-class art and architecture. its iconic landmarks are known the world over with rising stars yet to be discovered. This country's cultural repertoire is staggering - in volume and diversity. And this is where the beauty of la belle France lies: when superstars such as Mademoiselle Eiffel, royal Versailles and the celebrity-ridden French Riviera have been ticked off, there's ample more to thrill. France is, after all, the world's top tourism destination with some 89 million visitors each year who flock to the land of the Gauls to feast on its extraordinary wealth of museums, galleries, ateliers (artist workshops) and hands-on cultural experiences.

Fournes is a small working village in the south of France about 20kms west from Avignon. it is sited on a small hillock surrounded by vineyards and 'garrigue', with easy access to the autoroute but protected from site & sound of it. There are very few tourists.

There is a local bus stop about 7 minutes away from the house which can take you to Avignon, Uzes, Nimes and beyond.

There is an excellent grocery shop 2 minutes from the house, where you can buy many of the supplies you will need. The closest town with a supermarket is Remoulins, 4 kilometres away.

There is a good cafe in Fournes and you can also get beautiful local honey at Le Roucher, Fournes. Massage and wellness services are available from a local business called Mass Ton Dos. There is a friendly horse-riding stables in the village where you can arrange rides or lessons. You can book a slot at the village tennis court by the Marie.
