So where are we?

Bédoin, sandwiched between the Mediterranean/Camargue and the Luberon to the south, the Ardèche &  Rhone Valley to the north east, and the Alpes to the north west.  We are close to the historic towns of Avignon, Orange & Cavaillon, but our nearest town is Carpentras. The map above will show you more.

We provide for you lots of local information and many interesting day out excursions with maps and fact sheets.

Options of travel.

TGV (High speed train)  Every Saturday in the summer (Eurostar ) run a none stop none change service from London to Avignon, at other times you will need to change at Paris or Lillie. The journey time is approximately 6 hours London -Avignon.

Flying, four low cost airlines operate close to us, Ryanair operate Nimes to Liverpool, London Luton and East Midlands,  Easyjet operate Gatwick to Marseilles and Flybe operate Southampton & Exeter to Avignon; Jet2 Edinburgh to Avignon. All airports are about an hour away by car. As you probably know public transport in Rural France is rare so you’re own or a hire car or bicycle’s and a good pair of legs could be considered essential. 

By car from the North (Calais to Bedoin is more or less exactly 1000k or 621 miles) you are probably a seasoned traveller through France, if so, skip the following. From all the Northern ports we prefer to bypass Paris and Lyon, on the following, A26,A4,A26,A5,A31,A6,A46, this route will take you round Lyon, then change to the N346 for a short distance, then back to A46 and finally the A7. In high season the A7 can resemble the M25 so, as an alternative, leave the autoroute and follow the N86 or N7, both roads and the Autoroute run along the Rhône. We much prefer the N86 on the opposite side of the river, as it misses all the big towns. Your turning off the A7 is at Junction 22, Orange Sud. Simply follow Carpentras (Be aware, this is a fast road but you will see a left turn to Carpentras, so watch out for it!) Continue straight through the outskirts of Carpentras, and then at the only T-junction under the viaduct, turn left, direction Ventoux sud and Bedoin.
