A delightful Wine Estate near Pertuis
Chateau Val Joannis
www.val-joanis.com
tel: 04.90.79.20.77
fax: 04.90.09.69.52
A beautiful, superbly maintained wine estate. I like best their fruity and elegant rose. But visit the tasting room and decide for yourself. Don't miss a tour of the spectacular gardens, a tapestry of herbs, vegetables and espaliered fruit trees.

L'Isle sur la Sorgue the city of antiques
Atelier D.L. (Didier Luttenbacher)
Le Quai de la Gare
84800 L'Isle sur la Sorgue
tel: 04.90.20.86.08
The city is literally filled with antique shops of every description. They are open only on Saturday and Sunday. In addition, Sunday is Provencal Market day.
My favorite antique dealer for quality and reasonably priced antiques is the charming Didier and his partner, angelic Eric.

APT- the city of candied fruit
Confiserie Le Coulon
tel: 04.90.74.21.90
It is best to visit Apt in the summer when the candied fruit factories are in full operation. But you can buy the jewel-like fruit year round.
My favorite is:
Denis Ceccon
Confiserie Le Coulon
24 Quai de la Liberte
84400 Apt

You'd never expect such a place in a forest on top of a hill! The ice cream is unique, and they serve it in extraordinary "coupes" in combinations, with or without liquor, you've never dreamed of. Charming tea-room, shaded terrace in summer with fountains and a view to die for.
