Location & what to see
Lafare is a small wine-growing village in Vaucluse, surrounded by the limestone slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail and vineyards. Its houses and lanes sit within a rural Provençal landscape, where neighbouring villages are close to one another. This region suits travellers who enjoy walking, cycling, discovering local wines and driving along country roads through the hills.
The Dentelles de Montmirail, 2.4 km away, are a mountain range known for their jagged ridges; trails let you explore the landscape on foot. Cascade Saint-Christophe is 1.2 km away and offers another stop for a walk in the surrounding countryside. Beaumes-de-Venise, 3.1 km away, is known for its vineyards and muscat wine. Château du Barroux, 4 km away, overlooks the village and is open to visitors interested in its architecture and history. A car is useful for reaching these sites and the area's villages; public transport does not serve Lafare directly.
Cycling trips let you travel between villages and wine estates, while the paths in the Dentelles attract walkers and climbing enthusiasts.
