The Provencal village of Boulbon is a charming example of a virtually untouched medieval village with its quaint town square, peaceful little shops and flower-bedecked windows. There are markets to explore and local treats to sample. On the evening of June 1st, Boulbon has a very unique event --- the Bottle Procession which happens at St. Marcellin Chapel. The nearby village of Boulbon is easy to spot no mater what route you take. The villages’ church tower is visible from all directions and dominates the countryside and its surroundings. Here you will find several excellent restaurants, museums and outdoor activities of hiking, horse-riding and mountain biking. Further away is Avignon, a city ringed by a medieval wall, inside of which you will find narrow, winding streets and ancient buildings filled with shops and restaurants. Avignon is easy to get in and out of by train, is a wonderful city to visit and noteworthy sites include the Palace of the Popes, the Musee Carnavalet, and Notre Dame des Doms cathedral.
