Top Local Tips for Paris

Car and Map A rental car and an excellent map are a must in this area. Study the map before you go and ask the rental car agent for directions from the rental office to the main highways. Be prepared to get lost and to stop and ask for directions. Street signs can be very hard to spot.

GPS A GPS was vital to our getting around the area, especially getting back to the hotel as it is secluded and not easy to find.

Dining near Le Vallon Restaurant Gajulea (www.gajulea.fr) in Le Barroux, France. A 15 minute drive from Le Vallon in the picturesque village of Le Barroux. Not a touristy area. Small, charming restaurant with mouthwatering dishes and an equally mouthwatering wine cellar. Make this a must, if you enjoy good food and wine!
