My wish is to make your stay a moment of happiness and sharing in benevolence.
Since its creation, La Buissonnière has been committed to an eco-responsible approach:
An historical building renovated with eco-friendly materials,
organic and mainly local products for your breakfast,
best tips to help you discover the secret wonders of the Luberon Natural Park.

You can also “privatise” the place, including kitchen, many living rooms and the garden, for weekly rent. No breakfast, but a housekeeper one hour a day.

Please feel free to contact me for more information.

Staying at La Buissonnière means :

  • Living in a charming house, renovated by an architect with art deco-inspired decor, in the heart of Oppède-le-Vieux, in the peaceful atmosphere of its medieval setting and natural park.
  • A warm welcome from someone who cares about your special wishes.
  • Enjoy a breakfast of organic and local produce, including homemade jams, pastries and fresh fruit juices.
  • Discover the treasures of the Parc Naturel Régional Luberon, one of Provence’s jewels: explore the famous villages (Gordes, Ménerbes, Roussillon…), hike or bike through the cedar forest or the Colorado Provencal, browse the farmers’ markets or the vast warehouses of antique and second-hand dealers in Isle sur la Sorgue…
  • Or take a day trip to Avignon, the Alpilles, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille or the Camargue.

The house

La Buissonnière is ideally situated in the heart of old Oppède: right in the center of the tiny medieval village, but in absolute peace and quiet.

This former 17th-century bourgeois residence, which once housed the village girls’ school, now invites you to play hooky. In french, “Buissonnière” means “skipping school”, and it’s the perfect place for it.

Its light-filled rooms face the almost uninhabited medieval part of the village.

The enclosed, south-facing garden is perfect for breakfast, a siesta, sunbathing or a refreshing dip in the small wooden swimming pool in electrolytically purified water.

No TV but a shared library including English books, music, a free wi-fi connection in the whole house.

Oppède le Vieux

The village

Set in a natural setting of rocky spurs and forests, Oppède-le-Vieux has not been altered by urbanization, and boasts an exceptional architectural heritage: medieval and Renaissance houses, shop fronts, a 12th-century collegiate church, an ancient fort…

Visitors’ cars are invited to remain at the entrance to the village, which can be explored on foot from the landscaped terraces planted with local species in the Jardin de Sainte Cécile.

The shady calades* lead to the collegiate church of Notre-Dame d’Alidon and the ruins of the castle, overlooking a spectacular panorama. From this panoramic vantage point, you can overlook the Luberon plain, with Mont Ventoux, the Monts de Vaucluse and the Alpilles in the background.

* In Provence, “calade” refers to a sloping cobbled street.
