Le Clos is a 1-bedroomed apartment, sleeping 2, in the village of Entrechaux (Vaucluse), 7km SE of Vaison-la-Romaine, 48km NE of Avignon (Michelin map: 527). VFB is delighted to have featured this property since 1977. Wednesday arrival.

This neat property is set into a hillside 100m from the centre of this attractive little village, adjoining but independent of and facing away from the owners’ home. The lovely sunny garden is on two levels, (12 steps down); from here one can enjoy delightful views through trees over garrigue-covered hills, village and vineyards to Mont Ventoux and, on the north side of the property, to the battlements of the ancient hilltop fortress above the owners’ terraced olive groves. The well-kept interior is compact and unelaborately furnished yet homely, with fittings and décor of a good standard. The welcoming owners’ house adjoins the property at a lower level but it has its own private gate and parking area at the end of the garden. A narrow access lane from the village centre passes the property. Two local fêtes take place during the summer – one around 14th July for 3 or 4 days and the other around 10th August – perfect opportunities to join in the life of this typical local community. An agreeable little property, ever popular with VFB guests for its village setting, splendid views and friendly welcome.
