Vacation with dog - Pet Friendly Holiday in Oppède

Five years ago we had already been in this house. This year it was time to come back. The construction activities of five years ago were behind us and the place radiated peace. The house is still very nice to stay with several adults because of the separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The swimming pool is small, but provides a lot of cooling. The new outdoor grill works perfectly, so cooking indoors in a hot summer is actually no longer necessary. A kettle would be nice to make tea. Cucuron itself is a lovely French village with beautiful photogenic streets, a quiet French market on Tuesday mornings (be sure to go very early) and picturesque French villages in the area. The two bicycles that we were allowed to use do need some maintenance. Nevertheless, the bike ride to the village to get bread every morning was a nice start to the day.

We hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad. Er is ontzettend veel te zien, geweldige dorpjes, mooie natuur, fijn en schoon vakantiehuisje. Mede door de verhuurders is het een waardevolle vakantie geworden om nooit meer te vergeten!

We travel to France every year, usually booking through Owners Direct or French Connections but this was easily one of the best properties we have ever rented. Just perfect. David and Myriam have done a fantastic job with their two bedroom house. The courtyard garden is delightful for breakfast and the obligatory evening BBQ and the pool is an absolute sun-trap that was difficult to keep our 10 year old out of! In fact David and Myriam, are just two genuinely nice people. The position of the property just north of Avignon and in the shadow of Ventoux is perfect for the villages of Gordes and Roussillon, the day trips to Avignon, Nimes, the Pont du Gard and Orange. Don't tell the people of Carpentras (they have one of the biggest markets in the area) but the best is at Bedoin, a good local, artisan market from which you can push on up to the summit of Ventoux, afterwards. That said, in defence of Carpentras, Restaurant Camille is a fabulous dining experience, especially if you are without children. Absolutely off-the-scale. For families we liked Le Grillon in Bedoin. I guess we need to find a downside.......Hhhmmm........a vacuum cleaner would be handy! That's it. Thank you David and Myriam, it was genuinely a pleasure to stay with you and a little sad to leave.
