Location
About the surrounding area of Villa du MistralA short drive south of the historic city of Avignon, this semi-detached dwelling is set on a country lane close to the outskirts of Châteaurenard (1.5km). Ideally located between Avignon and St-Rémy-de-Provence, this picturesque town is the gateway to some of the region’s most iconic sights.
Châteaurenard offers an authentic blend of history and culture. Wander through its characterful centre, soak in the views from the medieval castle ruins, and experience the warm hospitality that defines the south of France. There is a good-sized supermarket less than 1km away whilst the heart of the historic quarter is just a little further with its restaurants, shops and bustling Sunday morning market. If walking to the town, please note that part of the route does not have a pavement.
A short drive away, immerse yourself in the grandeur of Avignon (12.5km), home to the magnificent Palais des Papes and the famous Pont Saint-Bénézet, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Visit wonderful restaurants and wine-bars across the small historic city, look out for atmospheric markets and even hire bikes to cycle across to île de la Barthelasse, the Rhône’s largest river island.
Meanwhile, history enthusiasts will be just as enchanted by the UNESCO-listed Pont du Gard (35km), an ancient Roman aqueduct that stands as a marvel of engineering, a fine spot for riverside picnics as well as canoeing/kayaking.
Heading south instead, venture towards St-Rémy-de-Provence (11km) and the landscapes of Les Alpilles, where Van Gogh found his inspiration. Here, cobbled streets, art galleries, high-end restaurants and traditional cafés create an irresistible charm.
If you crave more scenic beauty, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (25km)—often called the Venice of Provence—beckons with its winding canals, vibrant antique markets, and riverside cafés. Continue into the enchanting Luberon, where rolling lavender fields, hilltop villages, and picturesque landscapes offer a true taste of the Provençal dream.
For wine lovers, the renowned vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape (27km) and the Rhône Valley are also just a stone’s throw away. Indulge in world-class tastings at prestigious domaines, sampling full-bodied reds that have made this region legendary.
Closer to home, golf enthusiasts can enjoy a relaxing round at Golf de Barbentane (10km), where verdant greens meet Provençal landscapes.
