Provence villas, South of France villas from Rent Villas France

The lovely scenery and villages of the Luberon - Menerbes, Oppede, Lacoste and Bonnieux among them - were immortalised by Peter Mayle in A Year in Provence.
A popular activity for those staying in villas in Provence is to explore the artists' village of Gordes, red Roussillon or Apt - capital of the Luberon. To the north lies Fontaine-de-Vaucluse with its astonishing spring and the mighty Mont Ventoux's white profile. To the west Cote du Rhone vineyards abound and the papal influence is ever-present at Avignon and Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
