Find yourself crushed directly under the cliffs, at the eastern end of the limestone Alpilles and the Durance, where villagers once required the toll of passers-by. Admire the right bank of the river and the mighty Luberon Massif and, further, the Vaucluse, the highest point of Mont Ventoux.
The house is located just inside the portico of St. Anne, by which Napoleon passed in 1814. The building is distinguished by the many plants hanging on the facade, 30 m downstream of the portal, on the left. Orgon, founded in the Middle Ages, houses a monastery perched on the cliffs of the Alpilles, the castle in ruins of the Duke of Guise, and a magnificent church overlooking the town square.
The city is ideal as a base for outdoor activities, and we would love to advise you. It is at the heart of countless bike paths, whether for road racers (for example, the "Roquemartine", or up to Mont Ventoux), hikers or mountain bikers. Just outside the city is an internationally renowned climbing site, as well as a gravel pit turned into a recreational area with water-skiing on cable.

Transportation
It may be a small town with a village character, but it still has its own train station, with around six daily services to Marseille and Avignon. If you have to bring a car, it is best to park just outside the city walls, then walk a few meters. If you arrive by bike, store them inside the house, on bike racks or in the bowels of the rocks.

Interacting with our guests
We live on the 2nd floor, leaving the rest of the house mainly for the use of our guests. We remain discreet but will also be happy to talk with you!
