  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

Fill a bowl, line a shelf, pile as a centerpiece those exquisite, totally "fool the eye" fruit and vegetables.
Faienceries Figuieres

  L' Art Glacier
Perriere Maitres Glaciers
Les Hautes Terres
84240 Ansouis
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.



  La Bastide des 5 Lys
www.bastide-des-5-lys.fr
Chemin du Moulin
Les Beaumettes - 84220 Gordes
tel: 04.90.72.38.38
fax: 04.90.72.29.90

On N7 near L'Isle sur la Sorgue, the village of antique dealers. Elegant setting and food, can be magical on a summer night. Rather expensive, but worth it
