Grand Fontvert is in the countryside 500 metres (0.3 miles) from the village of St-Martin-de-Castillon, less than 10 minutes’ walk away.
St-Martin-de-Castillon is a tiny, typical Provence village perched on a hill overlooking the valley and the Luberon mountain to the south. St-Martin-de-Castillon is small but has a cafe/restaurant and a grocery store with fresh bread and chicken rotisserie. This is dream hiking country, and the GR11 walking trail goes right through the village, and on past the surrounding lavender fields. The market town of Apt is 12km (7 miles) to the west.
