Lou Cascai - Location

The Location
 
 
 

The studio is 5 minutes walk from the centre of Roussillon, officially one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, and part of the 'Golden Triangle' of the Luberon. This is a location of outstanding natural beauty, encompassing the Luberon natural park, and several perched, hill-top villages amid the valley of vineyards and orchards. Gordes, Lacoste, Oppede le vieux, Bonnieux, and Goult are a few minutes away by car, while the towns of Avignon, St Remy, Arles, Nimes, Orange and Aix are 90 minutes or less.

Roussillon itself offers many restaurants, cafes and shops, and the fascinating old ochre quarry. This is the village that Laurence Wylie wrote about in A Village in the Vaucluse, and Peter Mayle later wrote A Year in Provence a few miles away in Menerbes.
