Croix pas

At this time, the end of May, I recommend to visit GORDES and around the characteristics tiny villages around like LOURMARIN, Bonnieux, Lacoste, Roussillon… It is too early in the season to go until Sault, which is at a higher level as it is still winter time (trees without leaves). The road to go there from Aix is in the order : Puyricard, Cadenet (without interest), Rognes (without interest), LOURMARIN. Between Rognes and Cadenet there is a splendid old monastery “Silvacane, near the river cold “la Durance”. It is one of the three little sister like “Sénanque” at GORDES. And from Lourmarin take the ancient road which go to “Apt” and “Bonnieux” From Aix to Gordes : without stop, it is around 1 hour max. And from GORDES are not far of AVIGNON (less than 1 hour) and Villeneuve les Avignon, thru the “fontaine de Vaucluse” where the poete Pétrarque wrote some sentences to Laure ! It is a nice schedule to visit this area in the south of France.
