There are two main supermarkets in Lorgues – Casino (centre of town by the roundabout) and Intermarché (on the road to Les Arcs). Be warned, these are normally closed on Sundays, except summer months, and at lunchtime. Further afield, Les Arcs has a large Lidl and a massive supermarket called Hyper U (road to the A8) There are also chemists, banks, newsagents etc in the centre of Lorgues.

Lorgues is a very beautiful and characterful town in Provence, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. It has a bustling centre with ancient facades and winding streets, with the 18th-century St-Martin church as focal point. Markets Every Tuesday, Lorgues hosts one of the largest and most famous markets around, down the length of the main street. Parking can be difficult and we advise getting there early, especially in the peak summer months, as it is very hot and busy. Aups is on Wednesday and Saturday.

Vineyards Welcome to the heart of Provence Rose! There are many vineyards all around us, with may selling rose, white and red wines on site – it is quite fun to try them all! We have a few local ones we go to just for ease, whether they are the best value or best tasting is for you to decide! Château de la Martinette – follow our road down all the way to the end - amazing brand new winery. Château de Berne – a large wine estate with a fine restaurant and jazz picnics Château Roubine - current favourite, on the road to Draguignan Château Sainte Beatrice L’Estello – on the road to Carcès

There are at least 8 bakeries in Lorgues. Parking can be quite difficult in town so we tend to go to one in the row of shops at the bottom of Chemin de la Peirouard (just turn left out of the gates, then right at the dustbins over the hill and it is just before the main road). Another good one is at the far end of Lorgues, called Les Climenes, which has parking next to it. Excellent tartes - which best id preordered. It’s just off the roundabout with the beehives on the route to Intermarché .
