Summary of our Provencal Adventure:
We have created a very special trip for you, full of culinary and cultural adventure. Our home for the week will be a beautiful 19th century chateau in the heart of the Luberon, just outside the historic hillside town of Lacoste. Thie elegantly luxurious chateau, with large, well-appointed guest rooms, is built on the foundation of a 15th century bastide and is situated on lovely grounds that include a large pool, many shaded sitting areas and of course, a péntaque court!

Our itinerary has plenty of choices, allowing you the flexibility to be involved with as much as you want each day - visiting local markets, medieval cities, wineries and local sites if natural beauty, including a canoe trip and picnic below the famous "Fontaine de Vaucluse" on the Sorgue river - with plent of time to relax on the grounds of the chateau or at the poolside, or to take a walk or a bicycle through the surrounding countryside. Our itinerary takes us to several of the more interesting and beautiful of the nearby medieval villages, each wiht it's own interesting contribution to the history and traditions of the region.

In addition to having our own French Chef Laurent prepare our meals, our voyage includes 2 cooking classes. The first will be held in the medieval hilltop village of Menerbes with a local chef of wide regional acclaim. The second will be held at the chateau, under the direction of Chef Laurent, featuring our favorite regional fare. You will also enjoy several meals out, at authentic local Provençal restaurants. The classes are optional of course, but if you want even more cooking, you are always welcome to join the chef in the kitchen at any time to assist in preparation.

All meals, wine, accommodations, activities and local transportation are included.
