Pernes-les-Fontaines is a wonderful medieval village, situated perfectly in the middle of Provence. We stayed at Le Galerie, a fantastic cottage situated in the middle of the old walled village. The cottage covers three floors, the first having the master bedroom with master bathroom and a fully equipped large laundry area, Go up a spiral staircase to the kitchen, dining and living room, with a powder room off the foyer. The kitchen was brilliantly equipped, there was a TV, DVD player, DVD's in French and English, books, a phone etc. On the top floor you find another Queen sized room, a single room, a living room with a fold out sofa and another bathroom. There is a delightful balcony where you can sit and watch the passing parade with your vin, your fromage and your cachuterie! The cottage was immaculately clean and tidy, with plenty of linen and towels available. The hosts had put together an amazing collection of information on what to do and where to go in the immediate and extended Provencal area. We used their guide to places 90 minutes from Pernes-les-Fontaine and managed to see so much of Provence and go to little out of the way places that we would have missed otherwise. On Saturdays there is a market at the end of the street, along the riverside. There are restaurants within very easy walking distance, galleries and of course, a lot of fountains! We can't wait to come back and see those parts of Provence that we missed this time.
