The Luberon is the valley in the middle of Provence best known through the writing of British writer, Peter Mayle. British and American tourists flock to the picturesque towns and hilltop villages of this area to enjoy the beauty and bounty of the surrounding countryside and to soak up the legendary light that so enchanted van Gogh. The experience is heightened all the more with a stay at Au Ralenti du Lierre in Gordes, a charming B&B open all year round. Spacious and airy bedrooms each decorated differently with varying views await at rates that are quite reasonable. They've even included a continental breakfast of home-made bread, jams and pastries. Later you could take a dip in the pool or stroll through the gardens. Or maybe you'll hit the markets in town. Or just maybe, you'll do...nothing...at all.
