Activities
Whether you just want to chill out and relax by the pool during your holiday, play tennis with or without a private tutor, or boule at the house, or venture further afield – whatever your choice – Mas Vignes Folles is ideally situated. It is a perfect start point for many cycle rides (there is a good cycle hire shop in Bonnieux) and walks. The Luberon mountain range is a national park with well preserved natural areas with designated hiking trails.
There are several excellent golf courses in the general area and details such as cycle hire, golf, horse riding, and many other local activities are provided at the villa.
The local villages each with their own colourful weekly markets which are the very essence of Provence, are well worth a visit.
Further afield, Aix en Provence, Avignon, Arles, Nimes and Marseilles with their museums, culture and history, offer a welcome change to the peaceful life of the Luberon.
There are international music and drama festivals every summer including memorable concerts in Lacoste and the the hill-top church at Bonnieux.

For wine lovers, there are many vineyards to visit where the conviviality of the owners make the tastings fun and informative.
