A delightful Wine Estate near Pertuis
Chateau Val Joannis
www.val.joanis.luberon.com
tel: 04.90.79.20.77
fax: 04.90.09.69.52
A beautiful, superbly maintained wine estate. I like best their Les Merises 1995 a fruity
and elegant rose. But visit the tasting room and decide for yourself. Don't
miss a visit 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 all open on Saturday and Sunday. In addition, Sunday is Provencal Market day.
My favorite antique dealer 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

Perriere Maitres Glaciers
Les Hautes Terres

tel: 04.90.77.75.72
fax: 04.90.07.33.39
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.

worth it
