Recently renovated town house with private pool and stunning views in the pretty perched village of Oppedette in the beautiful Luberon.
La Madeleine is a recently renovated town house which has been lovingly restored into luxurious holiday accommodation with attention to detail and respecting local traditions, crafts and materials. The restoration combines simplicity and luxury to create colourful and cosy accommodation in a Provencal farmhouse style.
The property is situated on the edge of the small village of Oppedette north-east of Apt and enjoys stunning views of the surrounding Luberon hills.
The nearby river has carved an impressive series of gorges next to the village, with the main canyon about 2.5 kilometres long and up to 150 metres deep. Along a pleasant path from the village there is a viewing point that gives an impressive introduction to their scenic grandeur.
The gorges offer some fantastic walking with waymarked routes including a path that follows along both sides of the gorges or for the more adventurous a descent into the gorge.
La Madeleine is perfectly located for exploring this magical part of the south of France with some of the finest perched villages in Provence including Gordes, Menerbes, Lacoste and Bonnieux within 40km. There are also many other fascinating villages and towns to discover, many with weekly markets, within a very short drive including Reillanne and Cereste.

Oppedette
There are lots of marked trails through the gorges and you can either walk along the rim or next to the river in the valley. However, care should be taken as the paths are on the very edge of the cliffs and are not advisable for children or anyone with vertigo and should not be attempted in wet weather.

DAY TRIP IDEAS
Avignon (79km)
Avignon, on the banks of the Rhone, is probably best-known these days for the children’s song – Sur le Pont d’Avignon. But for several decades in the 14th century it was the capital of Christendom, after Pope Clement V moved his court here to avoid the chaos in Rome. The legacy of that papal schism can be seen today in the city’s UNESCO-protected architecture, including the vast Palais des Papes. And nearby Châteauneuf-du-Pape, site of a now-ruined castle built by a later pope, still produces acclaimed red wines. The city’s intact ramparts and pedestrianised centre lend Avignon a small-town, medieval feel. Yet each July, the city goes totally 21st century, as thousands of visitors descend for a contemporary performing arts extravaganza, the Festival d’Avignon.
Aix en Provence (93km)
Aix en Provence is a lively and very appealing town with numerous restaurants and bars near the famous tree-lined Cours Mirabeau, markets on most week-days where you can sample regional produce including Calissons d’Aix (delicious marzipan-based confectionery). There are lots of wonderful art galleries all within walking distance from one another in the centre of Aix, shops, music and much more!
L’Isle sur la Sorgue (56km)
L’Isle sur la Sorgue is a pretty market town, much loved for its antique shops and twice weekly markets. Once an important fishing town, with an abundance of crayfish in the River Sorgue, there are also several canals running through the centre. Perhaps, unsurprisingly, the town has been called the Venice of Provence. The river has influenced the development of the town, providing for thriving crafts and industries, flour mills, wool and silk workshops. Many of the waterwheels remain adding to the picturesque charm of the town. Each Sunday there is quite a carnival atmosphere with a flea market, regarded as of the best antique markets in France (Thursday is normal market day).
