Enjoy your tour. Put on some French music.
Imagine that you are driving through small towns in
Provence. You have a map and nothing scheduled.
Without a guide, you have only these images to
encourage you to explore and sample.
Its time for lunch.

business. Theres an abundance of small shops and cafs where local residents greet
visitors with smiles and small talk. A few streets are strictly for pedestrians, but even
streets with traffic are easy to maneuver. The central plaza, lined with open cafs
and more shops, has the added plus of free parking. This is the heart of the town,
the place where the huge Tuesday Market begins its winding journey along the sidestreets.
Tuesday market day is huge in Vaison-la-
Romaine, one of the best in this part
of Provence. If the product is made in
France, youll probably find it here, from
local crafts, soaps, herbs, spices to cheeses
and fabrics. It speaks well that there are
as many locals as visitors exploring thegoods. Four hours is barely enough time
to experience the delicious food, touch
the wood carvings, try on the artful
clothing and question the antique dealers.
Happily, theres no difficulty finding a place to sit and enjoy some wine while
watching the action. Other times, between market days, theres a continuous parade
of ftes (festivals), including music, bonfires, wine tastings, boule matches and
picnics.
The family-owned Hostellerie Le Beffroi (3 stars in Michelin) in the center of theHaute Ville is our favorite, consisting of two adjacent mansions with spectacular
views of the town below. History and atmosphere with modern comforts makes it a
special place. The main building of Hostellerie Le Beffroi is about 400 years old, the
second about 300. Theres modern plumbing and mini-fridges plus satellite TV.
Theres even a swimming pool hidden behind a stone wall and huge wood doors
that maintain the medieval theme. The hotelsrestaurant (La Fontaine) is as good as
it looks, with an impressive garden courtyard for warm
weather dining. Stars and candlelight are simply the
icing to superbly prepared meals. But oh! thatbreakfast! Its the stuff morning dreams
in Provence are made of: a garden terrace with views of
river and town, surrounded by greenery, echoing with
birdsongs and distant early-morning village activity.
Delicious French breads and cereal, coffee and hot

chocolate, and unobtrusive servers who leave you alone. Le-beffroi.com is the
weblink.
Vaison has an added advantage: a wondrously drivable location. Numerous historic
cities, wineries and ruins are within 30 minutes by car, including the best Sundaymarket (LIsle-sur-la-Sorgue). The countryside drive explodes in a spectacular mix of
colored quilts and stone buildings. Its impossible not to stop the car every few
minutes for a quick leap out and photos. Local villages are friendly and its easy to
find outdoor cafs featuring authentic Provence dishes along with delicious coffee.
Language is no barrier. Avignon is less than 40 miles away, enchanting Gordes even
closer. Nearly every day in the summer season a different local village or town has its
own public market. We made a game of picking a-market-a-day as part of our
holiday. Then we realized that Vaison has so much that we no longer wanted to
drive away, but rather just hang out, taking it all in and living the life most only readabout in novels and travel magazines.
The route from Vaison to Gordes (about an hour of driving, 55 km).

review that we found on TripAdvisor: We stayed here the end of May with a group of 22 friendsand it was perfect as we had some of the apartments which were spacious and with great livingrooms and patios made for perfect happy hours! The other rooms were very romantic and would beperfect for a getaway for two! Intimate and inviting. The location is wonderful and parking while not ina lot was easy enough to get.The only downfall is the internet service...if you need it. It was limited to the lobby (often closed) andthe lobby's exterior terrace (fine if the whether is good)...
A great area to spend time exploring at least 2 days are needed as there is much to see.We'd certainly go back if in the area. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g196687-d262179-Reviews-La_Fete_en_Provence-Vaison_la_Romaine_Vaucluse_Provence.html HostellerieBeffoi Address:2 Rue de l'vch, 84110 Vaison-la-Romaine, FrancePhone:+33 4 90 36 04 71 http://www.le-beffroi.com/ Some of my friends have never been to
Provence. Where is the best place to start? In Vaison La Romaine. And where is a reliable place tostay? Hotel Beffroi the belfry
-- serene breakfast area-- great food in the restaurant (I can eat it only once a week, it's so good)-- friendly staff (Hi, Lise and Natalie!)-- convenient to meet with the Association to Preserve the Haute Ville aphv.fr-- the hotel proprietor supports the Old Town association...
We recommend this hotel. We've visited in 1994, 1999, 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2012. (This was ourreview that was posted on Trip Advisor) http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g196687-d239776-Reviews-Hostellerie_le_Beffroi-Vaison_la_Romaine_Vaucluse_Provence.html We
