IN THE
AREA
Château du Jonquier is located in the heart of the Vaucluse in the French departement of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur. It is the ideal base to discover all the cultural and natural wonders that the Provence Verte has to offer:
Avignon, the world-famous, bustling historic city, whose winding cobble stone streets are alive with exciting galleries and Michelin-Star restaurants, is a short 25 min drive away: visit the Papal palace, catch a fringe play or dance on the world-famous 'pont' that half-bridges the river Rhône's surprisingly strong currents.
Or do you prefer visiting L'Isle Sur La Sorgue, which has become the center for the French antiques trade? Close by are also the world-famous hill-top villages of Venasques, Gordes, Roussillon (the Colorado of France!) and Ménerbes, the setting for the bestseller 'A Year in Provence'. Rent a bike and fill your senses with these sights, sounds and scents...unforgettable!
Finally, explore in the medieval little market town Mazan itself and hunt down delicacies for your lunch or dinner at its Saturday market. There's no hurry: settle in a small café and watch the world go by in peace.
Soyez les bienvenus! Be our guest! Seien Sie willkommen!
NATURE
When Provence was created, the world had one of its best days ever: shielded by mountains and kissed by the sun, caressed by easy breezes and blessed with an abundance of water.
The 1925m of the 'Mont Ventoux' rises right behind the house. Ascending the mountain is an unforgettable and enrichening experience. Its rocky, snow-white summit offers hikers and cyclists alike breathtaking views.
The lush and rolling green valleys invite your taste buds for an adventure. Discover the ancient Provencal wine culture. The 'Côte du Ventoux' AOC wines are the pride of the region, created by sun-kissed slopes and the perfect Mediterranean climate: love the robust reds, elegant rosés and refreshing whites.
Further afield lie the vineyards of the AOC 'Chateauneuf du Pape'. We are happy to arrange a tour and a degustation of these spectacular wines for you.
Santé!
