The Chemin des Briquets Residence
This picturesque five-bedroom stone villa in the Provence, France countryside has beautiful views of the surrounding hills and sleeps up to 12 + 2. The cozy house has a country chic aesthetic, with wicker chairs and antiques sourced from l’Isle-Sur-La-Sorgue. It has been completely refurbished with modern touches, including an eat-in kitchen that opens onto the terrace and covered outdoor dining area. It’s ideal for large families or couples traveling together with children or babies. We love the outdoor pool, stocked with pool toys for leisurely afternoons. The lush lawned garden also has a boules court, sandbox and tree swing, and the kids can play hide-and-seek amongst the trees that dot the landscape.

Gordes, Luberon
In the foothills of the mountains
Due west of Avignon, Gordes is one of the most beautiful villages in France, perched up on the foothills of the Vaucluse mountains overlooking the Luberon plain. Known as the capital of the Luberon, its ancient houses cling to the hillside and offer tight alleyways and narrow cobblestoned streets to explore. Don’t miss the Tuesday market for handicrafts, souvenirs and fresh produce; it’s a great place to get the kids trying out their best French.
