Thank you for choosing our villa for your stay!

To help you discover great places and unmissable spots, here are personal suggestions intentionally limited to the essentials.

My favorite restaurants in Forcalquier and the surrounding area:

L’Esperluette less than 10 minutes on foot, original and light cuisine, 28 Boulevard Latourette, Forcalquier, phone 04 92 72 53 57

Le Jam, good Moroccan restaurant for tagines and couscous, in the center of Forcalquier, 2 rue Mercière, Forcalquier, phone  04 92 75 22 02

L’Auberge du bois, a beautiful terrace in a quiet area, traditional French cuisine, less than 10 minutes by car, in Niozelles, laubergedubois.com

Cocotte in Pierrerue, 10 minutes by car, original cuisine, bistrotdepays.com/cocotte.

Not to miss, the market in the center of Forcalquier on Monday mornings, with its local and international crowds, musical entertainment, stalls overflowing with all kinds of local products. Often the Citadel's carillon will accompany you with its music.

The old Forcalquier, a few minutes' walk from the house, has everything of a traditional Provençal village, with its old cobbled streets, old facades, and gates that are several centuries old.

You must walk up to the Citadel at the top of the hill, which offers a beautiful panoramic view.

And here are just a few of the many exceptional sites in the region:

The medieval gardens and priory of Salagon in Mane, less than 10 minutes by car, where you can find typical plants of Provence and elsewhere, and often exhibitions by local artists.

The Ganagobie Abbey, less than 30 minutes by car, its 12th-century buildings, the views over the Durance valley.

The Château La Coste vineyard estate, about an hour's drive away, offers a beautiful estate, several bars and restaurants, and amongst the vineyards, works by dozens of famous 20th-century architects and sculptors.

But also, about an hour's drive away, the choice of places to visit is inexhaustible, such as Aix-en-Provence, the Gorges du Verdon, or, much closer, the typical villages of Lurs, Dauphin, Simiane la Rotonde, Banon, Sisteron, Roussillon, Gordes, and many other picturesque places.

Pierre, property manager, will show you the house and the entire property.

You will also find a folder marked "Welcome File" in the TV unit. There you will find the internet QR code and all user manuals for various appliances and furniture in the house.

You will also find these manuals near each appliance and each piece of furniture.

Pierre and I hope that you can fully enjoy the house and the region.

If you wish, you can also book your next stay directly on this site.

If needed, Pierre Gelas (06 89 08 55 17) as well as myself remain at your disposal.

We wish you an excellent stay.

See you soon
