Provence, from a quiet corner of the Luberon
There's a version of Provence you find in guidebooks, and a version you find by staying long enough to wander off the main road. Follow the lanes out of Gordes towards Murs and the Col du Murs, and you're soon deep in the Luberon's forests and villages, with barely another car in sight.
Roussillon glows red and ochre against the hillside. L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue fills with antique dealers every Sunday morning along its canals. And somewhere between the two, in the shade of a market umbrella or on the terrace with a glass of rosé, you'll hear the cigales start up as the light softens into evening.
Belle Plume sits quietly amid it all, a peaceful base for exploring the region at your own pace. Take a look.
