Location
About the surrounding area of Villa de MentheIn the heart of Provence, Villa de Menthe is in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France, close to the Vaucluse border. Whether you’re seeking cultural experiences, breathtaking landscapes, or historic towns, this holiday home provides the ideal base for unforgettable Provençal adventures.
Surrounded by a handful of other houses, the villa is on a country road connecting Eyragues (6km) to a small, picturesque village around 800m away (no pavement). The village is surrounded by rolling countryside, orchards and farmland, ideal for long walks and cycle rides to other local villages. Saint-Andiol, Mollégès and Cabannes are all within easy reach for restaurants and shops whilst the market town of Châteaurenard is only 10km by car.
Also a short drive away, the famed town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (11km) enchants visitors with its vibrant Wednesday morning market, Roman ruins, and connections to Vincent van Gogh. Nearby, the hilltop village of Eygalières (11km) offers stunning views, historic charm and high-end dining alongside a taste of authentic Provençal life. Both are part of Les Alpilles Natural Regional Park, a paradise for nature lovers, with scenic hiking trails, limestone cliffs, forests and olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see.
For those drawn to the beauty of the Luberon region, the bustling town of Cavaillon (13.5km) is just a stone’s throw away. Famous for its sweet melons and charming old town, it serves as a gateway to the breathtaking landscapes of the Luberon Natural Park, where you’ll find enchanting villages like Gordes (35km) and Ménerbes (29km).
If you love antiques and riverside charm, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (23km) is a must-visit, with its picturesque canals, vibrant Sunday market, and countless boutique shops offering treasures from across Provence.
No stay in Verquières would be complete without a visit to Avignon (20km), just a short distance away. This historic city, once the seat of the papacy, is home to the magnificent Palais des Papes, the iconic Pont d’Avignon, and a lively cultural scene that makes it one of France’s most beloved destinations. Whether you explore its medieval streets, enjoy fine dining, or immerse yourself in its world-famous theatre festival, Avignon never fails to impress.
