Chez Kubik in Venasque, Provence

view of Venasque

Our home --actually two apartments, one sleeps 6 and the other 4-- is situated in a 16th-century stone house at the center of the village (pop. 150). On a quiet cul-de-sac, the house is private yet within easy walking distance of a boulangerie, a small grocery, and four fine restaurants.

 

The village of Venasque, perched high on a hilltop, overlooks the valley of the river Nesque. Located 20 miles northeast of Avignon, it lies at the heart of Provence, a region known for its abundant vineyards, lush orchards, plentiful markets,and historical sites.

Read Our Newsletter Online

As many of our renters know, Pad and I have in the past put together several newsletters about our favorite place to vacation: Venasque.

It occurred to us that we could save money -and be more timely- if we posted that news here on our website. Just follow the links to find our updated restaurant reviews and our favorite articles from past newsletters. You can also read Julie's Boston Globe profile of "Year in Provence" author Peter Mayle.

We invite any of our recent renters to send tips/advice/favorite shopping or dining experiences to us at ptspence@aol.com. We'll add your notes to the website and create our own little chatroom.
