It is dotted with cafes and restaurants, and 3 minutes from the hotel is the castle of Lourmarin, once a fortress dating back to the 12th century.

The journey and how you get there
For a holiday to Le Moulin, our clients fly to Marseille or Nice and then usually have the use of a hire-car for the duration of the holiday, or they arrive in their own car on a self-drive holiday, often as part of a multi-centre touring holiday (we would include a Eurotunnel crossing or a ferry crossing, depending on the itinerary), or they arrive by train, having taken the Eurostar London to Paris or Lille, and then the TGV to Avignon or Aix-en-Provence.
