cookingNestled within a spectacular fortified Medieval circular village with views to the pre-Alpine Baronnies hills and close to Mont Ventoux, the house called ‘Les Colonnes’ (The Columns) is situated in Saint Romain en Viennois, in the northern part of the Vaucluse region of Provence. The house is sheltered by a romanesque church in the heart of the village and offers charm and comfort in a quiet setting with friendly neighbours. The ancient house was renovated in 2006 into a beautiful 3-bedroom family home. The property has 3 terraces for enjoying the views and for convivial al fresco dining. Additionally, there is a secluded courtyard and access to a garden with olive and apricot trees and lavender.

Saint Romain en Viennois has a cafe and municipal tennis court. It's only three kilometres outside Vaison La Romaine, a fashionable summer resort featuring a partially excavated Roman town and a stunning Medieval district. Vaison's colourful Tuesday open-air market is one of the largest in Provence. The Roman theatre hosts a modern dance festival during July and other musical events during the rest of the s ummer. Every three years Vaison hosts an international choral festival, Les Choralies, last held in August 2010.

The surrounding countryside is famous for its wine (Côtes du Rhône Villages Puyméras and Côtes du Ventoux), its olives (AOC Nyons), excellent cycling and walking. Avignon, the Pont du Gard, Arles, the Camargue and Mediterranean beaches are all easy day trips.
