 Additional information about surrounding area and attractions:
La Fenice is a superb base for exploring the Gorges du Verdon, the Fontaine de Vaucluse, the Camargue, the Mediterranean coast and the Roman towns of Provence – all within easy reach for a day trip. Shopping for everything from the excellent local produce to French antiques is easily within reach. Among the best local wines are the Coteaux de Pierrevert AOC wines - try a glass of rose at lunch next to the pool, a white while watching the sunset from the terrace and a red with the dinner. Pierrevert is 15 km away and many wineries are open for visits and tasting. For the more active holiday goers, the beautiful Luberon golf course is 15 km away, Cereste has excellent tennis courts, and horse riding is minutes away in the valley. Finally, this is a wonderful walking country. Superb walks can be taken particularly via the medieval path that links Manosque to Apt (more widely known as the GR4) and which traverses Montjustin.
