 Rognes - Cadenet - Lambesc
Rognes
The grounds are typical of the 17th century and remain within the stately home’s perimeter, even if they were partially transformed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Its ancient vineyards are now being farmed, and their abundance and quality make them the exclusive resource of this estate. Brégalon Farm: 2km from Rognes, a unique farm under the first-class management of Hugues and Christine Girard. Production and sale of pure goat's cheeses made from raw milk using traditional methods. Tasting. Cadenet Discovery of the historic site: the Mediaeval castle and the troglodyte homes built into the bar of yellow rock overlooking the village. Panoramic view over the Durance, the Luberon, Sainte-Victoire and the Alpilles hills. Basketry Museum (Musée de la Vannerie): techniques and manufacture of contemporary basketry in Provence and Languedoc: addresses of manufacturers and retailers, types of production and regular exhibition tours organised on the theme of basketry.
Lambesc The 18th century church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption is a vast building in the classical style, topped by a splendid dome that lights the nave. It contains a genuine museum of Provençal painting. Picturesque old washhouse and fountains, the Jacquemard clock.

of Beaulieu House
Built
as a principality in the 17th
century, and seat of the Assembly of
Communities of Provence in the 17th and
18th centuries, the town has preserved
its fine architecture which is very similar
to that of Aix, with in particular a rich
collection of private mansions (Hôtel
Pagy de Valbonne and Hôtel Cadenet
Charleval).
