Neighbourhood

Rasteau is a very small village in the northern part of Provence. It is surrounded by lush green vistas that are emblematic of this very agricultural region, but not as rocky and dusty as what you will find in the southern part of Provence, closer to Luberon. Mont Ventoux is the most famous nearby mountain, and a oft-attempted challenge for cyclists. The entire region is a paradise for cyclists, whether you like hills or long flat rides. Within 20 minutes from our house you can find yourself in the Dentelles de Montmirail with several gorgeous walking paths through picturesque fields and surprising vistas. Rock climbers love this region in the cooler months. Rasteau itself is an AOC, and has historically been known for its sweet wine (which is excellent!). There are many small family-owned vineyards around us who welcome visitors for tastings. Vaison-la-Romaine is the closest "big" town. It's very charming and has a number of good restaurants, plenty of grocery stores and shops, as well as an excellent and massive market on Tuesdays. Rasteau itself has a small epicerie (grocery store) with surprisingly good quality produce, a boulangerie which is open until 12:30pm 5 days a week, a bar, and a post office. In the summer months there's also a restaurant on the plaza. Year-round there is a small farmer's market on Wednesday mornings with produce, fish (high quality), and cheese. During the summer months it hosts lots of events and festivities, including a Nuit de Vin which is famous in the region for its "traveling" route through the village. Other charming villages nearby are Seguret, Cairanne, Beaumes-de-Venise, Vacqueras, and Saint-Cecile-les-Vignes (great market on Saturday mornings.). Within an hours drive you have Avignon, Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Saint-Remy-de-Provence, Cheateauneuf-de-Pape, Aix-en-Provence, and dozens of other classic Provence villages. Grotte de Chauvet, Rousillion, Marseille, and Vallon Pont-du-Arc are within a 60-90 min drive. It's a wonderful region with fantastic weather year-round. Though it gets cold in the winter months, it is one of the sunniest regions year-round. There is a famous cold wind that can blow quite strongly, called the Mistral, which is part of what makes this an ideal wine-growing region. In the summer, the weather is hot, but it's a dry heat and not at all humid. Plus it cools down in the evening. Our home has thick walls and a giant plantane tree to the south that provides shade, so it stays quite comfortable even without air conditioning, as long as you are sensible and shut the south facing shutters at the hottest hours of the day.

Nearest airport

Closest airport is Marseille, which is about 1h10 min away.

Getting around

Rasteau the village center is about 3km away. Easily accessible by bike or car. You can walk there in 30min or so. A car is necessary for most other trips.
