2-What to do there:
We have thought of plenty of options to keep you and your youngsters active and happy: bikers, you are at the heart of one of the world's most beautiful (and yes, sometimes exhausting) cycling paradise. We have prepared itineraries for bikers of all levels. Hikers, the Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail await you: there are beautiful trails and hikes of all levels to be enjoyed. Lovers of Provence, you may visit the local markets, the historical cities of Avignon, Orange, Arles (all three host summer festivals) but also Marseille and its new Mucem Museum, as well as local gems such as the Abbaye of Senanque; the village of Gordes in the Luberon or the Baux de Provence...they are all more or less located within an hour's drive. For the younger crowds, the nearby "zip lining" (Accro branches) park offers a thrilling experience in a beautiful pine forest. There is also an Aquapark opened in 2016. Both are within 20 minutes' drive. If you all wish to stay home, you may relax to the sound of the crickets while younger ones play soccer, ping pong, pétanque or organize water polo tournaments in the pool.
The house has 15 spacious bedrooms, with either double or single beds which can be arranged in various combinations. There are five bathrooms + three independent toilets, 3 living rooms, including one with fireplace, 1 ping pong room, 2 kitchens, a large laundry room with two washing machines. 2 terraces (including one measuring over 3000 sq;ft) as well as a dining room for 30 in the adjacent barn.
