Over four days we broke out a little, the hilltop village of Gordes is a little touriste-heavy in August, but full of the prettiest nooks and crannies and traditional shops, exceptional views across the Luberon valley, and a very good creperie (one thing that marked down Capelongue for my daughter was the lack of crepes at breakfast – zut alors, etc). If you’re after a bigger town hit, Avignon is around an hour away, while Lacoste – with the Marquis de Sade’s Chateau – isn’t far. But mostly for four days we holed up, played rounds of Dobble, read books, perfected our handstands in the pool and sucked in the luxury surround, thrilled in the knowledge that no one had to clear up.
