Pernes-les-Fontaines is a town in the Comtat Venaissin, amid the Provençal landscape of the Vaucluse department. Its old town is known for its many fountains, gates and historic lanes. Life here moves at the pace of a small town in the south, among shaded squares, historic houses and cultivated countryside. The region suits travellers who want to alternate village visits, walks and time outdoors; a car is useful for exploring the wider area.

The centre of Pernes-les-Fontaines, its old gates and the Musée du Costume Comtadin offer plenty to see on a walk devoted to local history. Velleron, 2.7 km away, is known for its farmers' market, where local producers sell the region's harvest. Avignon, 21 km away, offers a different setting: the Palace of the Popes, the city walls and the streets of the old town are well suited to a day trip. Le Thor and Monteux each have a railway station, around 6 km away. Mont Ventoux and the landscapes of the Comtat also attract hikers and cyclists.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for exploring the villages and paths without the height of summer heat. In summer, markets and terraces put Provençal produce in the spotlight; on hot days, plan visits for early in the day and enjoy the swimming pool on your return. You could combine a day of exploring Pernes' heritage with a visit to the market in Velleron and a trip to Avignon. Those who enjoy the scenery can take another outing along the roads and trails of Mont Ventoux, adapting their route to the season.
