Welcome to Lagnes, a village perched on the Rocher du Pieï, in the heart of the Luberon.
It can be reached via the scenic route from Gordes, one of the most beautiful villages in France.
A charming vacation rental nestled in the garrigue, located between L’Isle-sur-Sorgue, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, and Gordes: the “golden triangle” of the Vaucluse’s most beautiful tourist sites! The Bastide des Esclargades is 700 meters from the picturesque hilltop village of Lagnes, with views of the Petit Luberon and the Alpilles in the background. Lagnes is part of the Luberon Natural Park, and you’ll be enchanted by the scents of thyme and wild mint from the surrounding garrigue.
Visits to the hilltop villages of the Luberon (Roussillon, Menerbes, Oppède, Lourmarin...) and the Alpilles (Les Baux, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence), Mont Ventoux (Séguret, Vaison-la-Romaine, Châteauneuf-du-Pape), as well as more urban settings such as Avignon and its festival in July, L’Isle-sur-Sorgue and its famous Provençal market, antique fairs, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse with its waterwheels and spring, and Aix-en-Provence (30 minutes away), not to mention the famous Calanques of Marseille, just a one-hour drive away (Cassis)... and hikes in the surrounding area, starting with the “Mur de la Peste” (Plague Wall): a famous hike beginning at the bastide; the cedar forest in the Luberon Nature Park; and cycling through Provence: numerous routes in the Luberon starting from Lagnes...
La Bastide des Esclargades will also introduce you to the flavors of the Luberon: the wine route, north to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Côtes du Luberon, and the Ventoux local wines... An abundance of fruits and vegetables from the Isle-sur-Sorgue region: the famous apple and cherry orchards of the Plaine des Sorgues... Catherine and Chris will be happy to guide you and offer advice on where to find hidden culinary gems off the beaten path... You’ll find the accommodations clean and in perfect condition. The decor is simple and functional.
The terrace is spacious and features a plancha grill; it’s not overlooked by neighbors, with a small garden and a view of the park, with the Luberon as a backdrop.
