Althen-des-Paluds is a village in Vaucluse, in the agricultural plain stretching between Avignon and the foothills of Mont Ventoux. Orchards, crops and country roads give this area a rural Provençal character, distinct from the lively atmosphere of nearby historic centres. The village suits travellers who want to explore several towns in the region while staying in green surroundings. Le Moulin de la Roque is set in grounds crossed by a small stream.

Avignon, 13 km away, is home to historic sights including the Palace of the Popes and Pont Saint-Bénézet, a medieval remnant overlooking the Rhône. Families looking for activities can visit Wave Island and Parc Spirou, both near Monteux. Monteux railway station connects the area to regional services; Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue railway station is another option for travelling by train. A car makes it easier to explore Carpentras, Orange and the villages of Vaucluse.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for visiting towns and going on countryside outings, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In summer, plan visits to towns for the morning and save the hottest hours for a break in the shade or by the pool. You could spend one day exploring Avignon’s lanes and monuments, followed by a walk along the Rhône; another could be devoted to the markets and heritage of Carpentras. For a wider exploration of Provence, the landscapes of Mont Ventoux and the surrounding villages offer a variety of routes depending on the season.
