Venasque, a balcony facing Mont Ventoux

Venasque is a small village for a quiet stay between the Ventoux and the Luberon. Without a car, a private driver is the easiest way to get there from the airport, at a price agreed when you book.

The driver helps with your luggage to the door.

The baptistery and the cherries

Venasque’s baptistery, one of the oldest religious buildings in France, dates from the Merovingian era. The village, on its rocky spur, keeps three towers of its walls and steep lanes, and gave its name to the Comtat Venaissin, of which it was once the capital. In spring, the cherry orchards on the slopes blossom; the Ventoux cherry is a local speciality. Halfway between Carpentras and Gordes, Venasque is a calm base for the Ventoux, the Dentelles and the Luberon, with a renowned restaurant on the square.
