A 32 kms drive southeast of Sablet past the town of Carpentras, onto a small road bordered on both sides by cherry orchards, will bring you to one of those beautiful villages.
Venasque is a picturesque village perched at the top of a steep hill and classified as one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France.
Venasque is small and compact with a few shops, restaurants and hotels. It can be easily visited in a few hours.

There are wonderful views out in every direction. Mont Ventoux can be seen in the distance.
Restaurant Les Remparts is a good choice for a meal during your visit to Venasque. The restaurant is built into the remparts; the old walls of Venasque.
The restaurant has a small terrace for outdoor dining in nice weather and a pretty dining room with amazing views of the valley.
Restaurant Les Remparts offer a number of prix fixe menus du jour, menus of the day, including an unusual one that consisted of all vegetarian dishes. I decided to try it and it was really delicious.
