What can you visit around our 5-star hotel in Provence?
Domaine de Berne is ideally located in the heart of Provence. Surrounded by magnificent sites, our 5-star hotel is the perfect place to relax between visits.
The Gorges du Verdon
North of Provence, discover Europe's largest canyon. The towering cliffs and the beauty of the turquoise waters of the Verdon will take your breath away. Thrill-seekers will be tempted by white-water sports such as hydrospeed, canoeing and canyoning. For those seeking relaxation and well-being, the Gorges du Verdon are the ideal place for a picnic and a family swim.
Le Thoronet Abbey
A cultural visit not to be missed, Le Thoronet Abbey is one of the Cistercian wonders of Provence. Built in the 12th century near Lorgues, Notre-Dame-du-Thoronet Abbey was home to monks for a long time, until the building fell into ruin. Restoration began in 1873, on the initiative of Prosper Mérimée, and continues to this day. Here you will find an abbey that respects the Cistercian rule, which consisted of providing the monks with everything they needed so that they did not have to leave the abbey: water, garden, mill, workshops, etc.
The markets of Provence
To fully appreciate the richness of Provence, there's nothing better than a visit to one of the many Provencal markets. Stroll through the streets, discovering the aromas, scents and flavours of the local produce, and let yourself be guided by the picturesque and lively atmosphere of the Provencal market. Discover the art of Provençal living, punctuated by the lilting accents of the locals.
Lorgues
If you're visiting Le Thoronet Abbey, make a diversion to Lorgues. With its religious buildings, châteaux, vineyards and remnants of fortified walls, Lorgues is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the history of Provence. Stroll through the narrow streets and admire the typical landscape of the region.
Flayosc
Not far from Draguignan, Flayosc is also well worth a visit. Set between the mountains and the coast, this medieval village nestles in the heart of olive groves, forests and vineyards, offering you all the beauty of picturesque Provence.
