LOCATION is one of Moulin de la Roque's best features. It is exceptionally well located in the heart of Provence just minutes from its most treasured and beautiful sights, villages, cities, beaches and vineyards. Enjoy visiting fabulous markets in one of the nearby villages of St Remy de Provence or Isle-sur-la-Sorgue where Provence comes alive with flowers, fresh foods, traditional fabrics, tiles, pottery, arts, wine, olive oil and antiques.
SAINT-REMY-DE-PROVENCE, GORDES, ROUSSILLON...experience the charm of these and so many other charming medieval villages, all just a short drive away in the Luberon area (the subject of Peter Mayle's famous book, A Year in Provence ). You definitely will not want to miss the spectacular scenery as you hike in the nearby forests of Luberon, the mountains of Les Alpilles, and the gorgeous canyons of the Ardèche. Also close by are miles of vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Côtes du Rhône.
AVIGNON, ARLES, NIMES, AIX-EN-PROVENCE, MARSEILLE...among the most fascinating of the larger Provencal cities are also easily accessible.

You can be in the ancient Roman cities of Arles or Nîmes, both known for interesting Romanesque history and architecture, in less than 30 minutes. And, only an hour down the road are the cities of Aix-en-Provence or the Mediterranean seaport, Marseille. In July and August you will enjoy the famous annual arts and music festivals in several of these wonderful cities.
