"There's nothing sweeter than leaving London on the Eurostar in the morning and to be sipping something cold and pink in Provence by aperitif time (tip: switch to the TGV in Lille to avoid having to change stations in Paris). Just 10 minutes in a taxi from Avignon TGV station, Le Moulin d'Aure is a charmingly restored mas (farmhouse) on the edge of the village of Graveson."
"Local bike hire companies can deliver bikes for the 30-minute ride to pretty Saint-Remy-de-Provence, with its Wednesday morning market. This is where Vincent Van Gogh was a patient in the Saint-Paul de Mausole psychiatric hospital after cutting off part of his left ear. It is where he painted The Starry Night, among other works, and there's a signposted tour around town, taking in landscapes that inspired the artist."
Le Moulin d'Aure sits 10 minutes by taxi from Avignon TGV station on the edge of Graveson in a restored mas with 19 bedrooms, many with balconies or terraces overlooking olive trees. The hotel has a large garden with a pool and quiet corners, an on-site Italian restaurant Tutti Quanti serving fresh pasta beneath a pergola, and local dining on Graveson's central square. Bike hire can deliver bikes for the 30-minute ride to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh painted works including The Starry Night. In Normandy, Trama en Perche is a four-bedroom guesthouse near Mortagne with breakfasts featuring local cheeses, brioche French toast and blinis with crab remoulade.
