NB : Possibility to stay and sleep there. Booking preferred.
New appartment with kitchen next to the Renaissance Castle rented @ 457 Euros per week. Beautiful view on the vineyard. Swimming pool. Good base to visit the beautiful Provence.
Wine
Probably and strangely, the white is the best

Les Halles in Place Pie is a covered market (open 7am-1pm, Tues-Sun) and sells fresh produce, cheeses, wines, and produits du pays.
The northern facade of the market is covered by a wall of vegetation Known as Le Mur Vegetal in French a creation of the botanist Patrick Blanc, consisting of a variety of plants trailing gently up the outside wall. Watching it flourish from scaffolding to flowering was delightful surprise.
Where to buy:
-The Poultry shop "chez Hugon & Jean Volailles" every kind of poultry is there. The pigeon is especially good. Jean is always ready for a joke, especially about foreign rugby teams and Rasheed will catch you out with his playful good humour.
-The cheese "chez Michel et Jeannine Bourgue" always warm and ready to advice on what is ripe and in season
-Spices "chez Jean Marc Asker" everything is available
-Bakery "chez Gaetan (Pain au Levain) good variety. Every sunday he puts on different hat, it has to be seen to be believed.
-Olives "chez Serge" Never seen such variety of brining/curing olives. They think they know about olives in the middle east, they should come here!
-fruits & Vegetable "Bonny/Le Jardin de Victor" reasonable price
-Wine "Cave Les Genets" always smiling Laure Chassagne knows her wine. A free tasting every saturday, try LE SABLET " VIEILLES VIGNES " BLANC
The Halles also holds cooking demonstration every saturday at 11am
Everything from the market otherise stick to ceramics from the surrounding villages.
Count your change and make sure your bill is not added on top of the previous customer; it happened to us several times even though we were "locals" , however the shops I mentioned above are honest.

They come in a variety of colours and sizes - the one photographed (and on guard in our house) is about 6" long, 2" high and 3" wide. He was "asleep" and packed in bubble wrap and for additional protection, lived in a shoe until we got home. Theme: Other
