#Sarrians#lebariquel#Provence#Vaucluse
We've travelled quite a lot this trip not like our usual long stays that we started doing a couple of years ago.
We've had five different home bases over the seven weeks.
For our last three weeks we decided to head to the Vaucluse Dept. in Provence.
A little tour of where we are staying in Sarrians ...
We have rented this lovely apartment on the "1er etage" of this villa ... which is actually on the second floor.
The friendly, helpful owners Jean-Marie and Martine live on site but total privacy is assured.
This is our side of the house with stairs that takes you to our entry ...
On our arrival we were greeted with some wonderful treats ...
and oh yes I now have the recipe for the delicious apple cake that Martine had served us.
The layout of the apartment works very well, I even commented to Monsieur Honey "This is all we really need, I could live here".
Through the double French door entry you arrive in the "Salon" (approx.16'x40') that serves as the living room and dining room. It is light and airy with big windows overlooking the park like yard.
The kitchen is fully equipped and more ... it also has another table and two chairs that can be used as a breakfast nook.
Down the hallway there is the comfortable bedroom, the bath/ shower room and the all important washing machine!
Our large upper terrace ...
The lower shaded courtyard ... a favourite spot for a quiet read or evening aperos in the shade of the large "French" maple tree.
The property is beautifully landscaped and park like.
We are surrounded by giant oleander plants and wonderful container gardens filled with colourful plants.
There are five "Olive trees" on the property that every November the owners harvest and take the olives to a mill where they get 20 litres of olive oil.
In our little French kitchen there is a bottle of this delicious olive oil which we have put to good use.
There are quiet shaded seating areas throughout the property ...
The following photos are of the owners' courtyard ...
where we enjoyed an evening of aperitifs and nibbles!
The location is situated perfectly for visiting many other Provençal villages, towns and cities.
If you've been following our adventure you will know that many places are within a half hour to hour drive and a further 100 kms lies Marseille and the Mediterranean.
If you are looking for a home base to explore this part of Provence ... this could be a perfect option.
