      Cucuron is in the heart of the Luberon National Park and near the famous village of Lourmarin.  The South Luberon area has retained its agricultural charms and the villages are surrounded by olive groves and wineries.       <br />
              <br />
       Apart from looking at the grapes, there are plenty of local restaurants from simple country fare to gastronomic restaurants within 5 km. of "La Fontaine".       <br />
              <br />
       The Luberon Park offers lots of hiking possibilities from easy to challenging.  The villages are never too far apart so you can always rest and have a leisurely glass of wine or coffee.       <br />
              <br />
       There are tennis courts in Cucuron and in Lourmarin at 5 km. (3 miles) distance.  There is a beautiful lake nearby for avid swimmers.       <br />
              <br />
       There are several music festivals.   Aix-en-Provence is a 30-minute drive from Cucuron and hosts a world-renowned jazz festival in June.  <a class="link" href="http://www.beyond.fr/villages/aix.html">info </a> Avignon is an easy 50-minute drive and the locale of the International Theatre Festival.  Every sunday there is an antique market in isle-su-la-Sorgue at 40 minutes from Cucuron.  In the summer, there are many night markets and other outdoor activities in Cucuron and all the other neighboring villages.       <br />
              <br />
       For those of you seeking out the Mediterranean and its beautuful coastline, you will find Marseille and its gorgeous Cote Bleue within less than an hour's drive.       <br />
              <br />

      Between the Alpes de Haute Provence and the Vaucluse  plain, the bold outline of the Luberon mountain rises up : this is the symbol of the area, a mountain which brings the area together rather than separates. From the valleys of Calavon in the north, to the Durance in the south, the natural link for these "pays du Luberon" which sway gently around its feet.  This is the real Provence, full of character. A sweet dolce vita of a climate and pure clean air which just breathes the incredible contrasts between a rich, and variable natural environment : the blue strides of lavender , the subtle nuances of green in the forests , the flamboyant and blinding colours of the cliffs of ochre, or the austere white of the limestone hills.       <br />
              <br />
       This is the living Luberon, where everything goes back to "man's " relationship with the basic element, earth. The dry stone walls and bories, the imposing "bastides", villages perched on the sides of hills between church and château of which some are extremely famous : Lourmarin , Gordes , Manosque, Roussillon..., and others less well known but nevertheless just as attractive, like Vaugines or Mirabeau, where "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des Sources" were filmed.... and lots of other places just waiting to be discovered.       <br />
