Le Logis Fleuri

Le Logis Fleuri is situated in a picturesque location, between the lively town of Apt and the nearby quaint village of Saignon close to the Luberon Nature Park. It is ideally positioned for a holiday in France's beloved Provence region.

Apt, just a short drive away from the house, hosts a delightful Provençal market every Saturday morning, renowned throughout the region. Here, you can explore a wide variety of fresh peaches, fragrant herbs, artisanal cheeses, crusty bread, and the local delicacy of candied fruit. Take a leisurely stroll through the historic centre, immersing yourself in its quaint ambiance, and find a cozy café to relax in while observing the world around you.

The hilltop village of Saignon is also within close proximity, offering an array of shops, cafés, and a charming boulangerie. Meander through its narrow streets, discovering ancient fountains, picturesque squares, and beautiful old houses, including the 12th-century church. Adventurous hikers can ascend to the top of the village's rock, which dominates the valley, treating themselves to breathtaking views of the Luberon region and, on clear days, even a glimpse of the Alps.

Embark on a day of village hopping, starting from Buoux and continuing through Bonnieux and Lacoste, all the way to Ménerbes, to truly savour the essence of Provence. Each village has its own unique authenticity, boasting traditional markets, ancient architecture, and hidden gems waiting to be explored.

The captivating landscape and villages of the Luberon region exude an enduring charm, while the local lavender, cherries, olives, truffles, and wines have achieved worldwide acclaim for good reason.

However, Provence's allure extends beyond its idyllic countryside. Within a 2 hour drive, you can reach the sparkling coastline of France, particularly the renowned holiday destination of Marseille.

For a glimpse into the traditional fishing trade, rise early and visit the Old Port, where fishermen unload and sell their daily catch. Alternatively, venture into the city centre to savour delectable local cuisine.

With some of the most enchanting landscapes of Provence, the Luberon awaits with its idyllic perched villages, swathes of lavender, cherry trees, vineyards and dense forest.

Become captivated by the scenery as you potter around artistic Gordes with its atmospheric Tuesday morning market before heading to hilltop Ménerbes, the village that inspired Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year in Provence’. Romantic Bonnieux enjoys the most glorious vistas, surrounded by a sea of vines and orchards, whilst red-hued Roussillon will take your breath away with its ochre landscapes and pine forests. They are all officially classified as ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ in France.

Yet there are so many hidden gems to explore as well. Discover the historic doorways, windmills and summer cherries of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, then head to Goult to embrace its Provençal charm with little shops and pavement cafes. Surrounded by fields of lavender, Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt is another historic jewel of the Luberon, often overshadowed by the handsome and historic town of Apt.

To the south of the Luberon, follow Albert Camus’ footsteps in Lourmarin, sip coffee by the picturesque bassin lined with plane trees in Cucuron and soak up the history of Ansouis – all three villages have a fine reputation for their high-end dining with a choice of Michelin starred restaurants.

Indeed, across the region look out for restaurant terraces serving Provençal cuisine with superb vistas alongside characterful markets showcasing seasonal delights from the Luberon and beyond (olives, melons, strawberries, cherries, truffles, chestnuts, lavender products and more). Most villages host a lovely weekly market whilst the largest in the Luberon is held on a Saturday morning in Apt. Just on the edge of the Luberon, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is famed for its antique stores and Sunday morning brocante. Meanwhile, wine lovers should visit the vineyards and wineries of the region producing Luberon and Ventoux AOC wines.

The walking, hiking and cycling opportunities in the Luberon seem endless and you will also find horse-riding, rock-climbing and tree-top adventures as well as canoeing and kayaking along the Sorgue near Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Come across hiking trails for all abilities passing vineyards and forest or venture through the hills and mountain gorges for spectacular scenery. Cycling is also extremely popular – as well as more challenging routes, we especially love the family-friendly Véloroute du Calavon, a paved voie verte following a former railway line near the Calavon river passing poppies, lavender and orchards so typical of the Luberon.
