On the edge of the Luberon region, only 5km from the picture-perfect village of Gordes, Cachet D’Olive is in the Vaucluse department of southern France. Located on a residential lane in the countryside, it’s only 2.5km to Cabrières-d'Avignon for your nearest bakery and restaurant.
Discover further amenities including good-sized supermarkets and lovely shops in nearby Coustellet (3.5km). The village is especially vibrant on Sunday mornings when its famed farmers’ market springs to life with colourful stalls of local honey, lavender, fruit, and cheese. It’s also home to the Lavender Museum, an ode to the region’s iconic bloom, perfect for families and culture lovers alike.
A short drive leads you to Gordes (5km), one of the Luberon’s most celebrated hilltop villages, classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’. Its dramatic cliffside position, honey-toned stone buildings, and the impressive Sénanque Abbey surrounded by lavender fields make it an unmissable highlight. Don’t miss the delightful market on a Tuesday morning.
Explore further into the Golden Triangle of the Luberon and you’ll discover the atmospheric lanes of Ménerbes (9km), the medieval charm of Oppède-le-Vieux (9km), and the ochre-tinted beauty of Roussillon (13km), famed for its dramatic red cliffs and winding trails through the pine trees. Each village brings a distinct flavour, whether it's the wine estates of Ménerbes or the artisan studios tucked into Roussillon’s pastel façades. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking, cycling, or leisurely drives through olive groves, vineyards, and pine forests that stretch across this protected natural park.
No trip to the area is complete without visiting L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (13km), the “Venice of Provence”, known for its antique shops, art galleries, and picturesque canals. Nearby, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse (14km) offers a magical setting where the Sorgue River bubbles forth from the depths of a limestone cliff, the perfect spot for kayaking, hiking or riverside picnics.
