Perfect experience! The horses are shiny and beautiful, view from the top of the hill is picturesque and breathtaking 🥰

Excellent experience with Jules ! I had the chance to experience the tour for beginners with my Austrian partner, and it was truly amazing. Jules is very responsive and welcoming, and will guide you through beautiful Provence landscapes at your own pace. Plus he also speaks English which was very nice to hear for my partner. I would strongly recommend if you wish to experience Provence in a different way!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Friendly hosts, spoke English (much-appreciated!) Beautiful, calm horses- lovely setting. My daughter's have been on many trips and said this was their favorite. Highly-recommended!

My family and I were worried about booking horse riding as we know very little French, the owner was very helpful and replied to messages In English and was very quick to reply and made the experience un stressful and very enjoyable. The views are amazing and the horses were well trained and calm. As we are novices it was a great starting point and my daughter (14) and mother(64) is keen to do it again when we get back to the UK. Thank you Janssaud

Ever since my daughter started taking lessons at 5 yrs old, I told her one day we'd go out riding together. Now she's almost 10 and this was a perfect place to do it! The scenery was gorgeous, peaceful, and relaxing. Our horses were sweet, gentle, yet still full of personality. Even the inexperienced in our group were completely at ease by the end of our 1.5 hr ride. We enjoyed it so much, I immediately reserved another time to go with my 8 yr old son. Whether you're an experienced rider or not, don't hesitate to book your trail ride here. The guide also speaks perfect English, is very welcoming and attentive to everyone.

Jules was a wonderful host and his horses are very steady on the trails. My grandchildren and I had an amazing experience.

Good ride, well trained horses, great view! You could expect some bumps but it’s not very bad and the guides were very nice and cooperative.

The location is lovely but we can't be the first to feel frustrated that they're closed over lunchtime. There is a very large parking lot near at the top of the drive, but if it's the low season it's worth driving further and parking right next to the church or right next to the shop (only 2 places) as it's a good 15 minute walk from the parking to the abbey. The direct walking path from the shop to the monastery that shows on Google maps is closed to the public so you have to walk around on the road. The shop and church and monastery are completely closed over lunch but the view is gorgeous. There is a single very poorly maintained toilet next to the shop that remains open during the lunch hours though it's lock function is faulty.

The serpentine road that leads up to the old priory is really beautiful once you arrive at the parking spot you have several options to explore the priory and the surrounding sights there’s a beautiful path going through old olive and holly oak trees that leads to the gift and souvenir shop that’s where you can buy tickets for the priory and shop locally harvested honey and much more. The abbey is just a few minute walk away from the shop. If you take the path on the left side of the abbey you will see the Ganaboie Cross the view over the durance valley is amazing! You have to visit it you will love it! It’s a overall good place for a half day trip even for people who are atheists (like me ) or who aren’t Christian it’s not just for religious people. If you are into history and beautiful landscapes this place is definitely worth a visit 😊

Great place to think about life and understand God's plan. The nature is incredible here and it's a great place to live. The teachings given by the monks are very enriching. I highly recommend this place to all those who need some peace and quiet, alone or with their family, away from the noise and pollution of the big cities.

God is in simplicity. This truly is a house of God. Beautiful place.

A great visit at the end of a never ending mountain road. We did not visit the monastery. Just the small church. It is small and simple but the fact the the monastery is still active makes the whole place very special and mysterious. You can take the path on the left when facing the facade. It leads to an amazing view East, over the Durance. The monastery shop is also good.

Praying with devoted monks seven times a day is what anybody could hope for! If you searching for silence and true meaning of religion, you should go and listen to the psalms sang by the monks and watch how they live... Breath taking respect and devotion for the superior worlds...

Current Abbey open to the public. Magnificent and peaceful place. Check opening hours.

(Translated by Google) A filth. Passing by there during a trip, I decided to try this little shop in order to taste the tastes of the region. I have never been so unwelcome in my entire life, yet I have done terrible business, the oldest woman gave me the darkest look, and does not hesitate to talk behind the backs of her customers! The bottles are much more expensive than normal, I told myself that the quality would be up to par, and I guarantee that even spirit vinegar is 100 times better than their "regional exceptions". TO AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! (Original) Une immondice. Passant par là pendant un voyage, j'ai décidé d'essayer cette petite boutique afin de goûter les goûts de la région. Je n'ai jamais été aussi mal accueilli de toute ma vie, pourtant j'en ai fait des commerces craignos, la femme la plus âgée m'a lâché un regard des plus noirs, et n'hésitent pas à parler sur le dos de ses clients ! Les bouteilles sont beaucoup plus chères que la normale, je m'étais dit que la qualité serait à la hauteur, et je vous garantis que même du vinaigre d'alcool est 100 fois meilleur que leurs "exceptions de la région". À FUIR À TOUT PRIX !!!

We took a perfume making class this morning and learned so much! It was so much fun mixing our own perfume from the many bases we had to choose from. I would highly recommend this experience!

It is a great museum and it was a great experience. Everyone in the area and who is a little interested in the amazing variety of herbs, plants and flowers and their usage in Provence must go here. This museum is dedicated to show the versatile uses of plants in Provence and throughly explains it in an interesting and understandable way. Not only about the plants itself but also about the history of developing the unique applications (From making herbal infusions, medicine, perfume and also Alcohol). Even for children there is an interactive task on every step of the exhibition. Also: if you are interested in doing workshops or hearing lessons at the university - do it! I have never seen such an amazingly equipped as well nicely and luxurious designed lecture hall. I am definitely coming back to take classes in perfume making!

Beautiful place to visit and a lovely town.

(Translated by Google) We took 4 places for the creation of perfumes. (3 adults and a 14 year old teenager). The workshop lasts 2 hours. It includes the history of perfumes, how their composition has evolved over time, a blind test of different representatives of aroma compound families, the explanation of balancing a perfume, and then finally the creation of a personal perfume from around forty aroma compounds with the help and advice that goes well. Everyone leaves with a 100ml bottle of perfume of their own creation. A very interesting workshop! (Original) Nous avons pris 4 places pour la création de parfums. (3 adultes et un ado de 14 ans). L'atelier dure 2 heures. Il comprend l'histoire des parfums, la façon dont leur composition a évolué dans le temps, un test à l'aveugle de différents représentants des familles de composés d'arôme, l'explication de l'équilibrage d'un parfum, puis enfin la création d'un parfum personnel à partir d'une quarantaine de composés d'arômes avec l'aide et les conseils qui vont bien. Chacun repart avec un flacon de 100ml de parfum de sa création. Un atelier très intéressant !

(Translated by Google) Vintage oil mill, very pretty and with the explanation on the paper given by the gentleman in the shop we understand how it could have worked before. It is also a small olive oil shop. The place is a little hidden so keep your eyes peeled (Original) Moulin à huile d'époque, très jolie et avec l'explication sur le papier donné par le monsieur de la boutique on comprend comment cela a pu fonctionner auparavant. C'est aussi une petite boutique d'huile d'olive. L'endroit est un peu caché donc garder bien l'oeil ouvert

(Translated by Google) We made the detour on purpose during the week at the end of June. . It's infuriating. No opening hours or day... 9:00 a.m. nothing 9:30 a.m. still no one 10:30 a.m. no better. A simple sign indicating to go to a coffee seller to find the oil. Too bad it’s certainly very good when it’s open. (Original) Nous avons fait le détour exprès en semaine fin juin. . C’est rageant. Pas d’horaires d’ouvertures ni de jour … 9h00 rien 9h30 toujours personne 10h30 pas mieux . Une simple affichette indiquant d’aller chez un marchand de café pour trouver l’huile. Dommage c’est certainement très bien quand c’est ouvert.
