For shopping fun, head to Le Caviste de Maussane or Art Gallery Contemporary Tapiezo. Venture out of the city with trips to Monastery Saint-Paul de Mausole (in Saint-Remy-de-Provence), Avignon (Palais des Papes & Pont d'Avignon) and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (Anne Virlange Art Gallery & L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Market). The adventure continues: delve into the distant past at La Maison Carree, look for all kinds of wild species at Le Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Gau, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Abbaye Notre-Dame de Senanque, and admire the masterpieces at Carrieres des Lumieres.
