Caromb Village

When it comes to ‘where to stay in Provence’ – if you are looking for a quaint village full of charm and character then you are simply going to love Caromb, an ancient fortified village built on a low hill on the plains south of the Ventoux mountains. It’s got narrow streets with many vaulted passageways that tunnel beneath the buildings – they are fascinating to explore.

You’ll discover a very friendly, Provençal feeling about the place and taking coffee in the old café (which is clearly a local’ssocial center) is an experience to be enjoyed by all.

At the heart of the village you’ll find a tall, round tower topped by a beautiful wrought-iron belfry, which was built in 1562, and extended upward in 1625. Also worth a peek is the ancient church in the centre, which has a unique hexagon shaped bell tower with a differently sized bell for each of the eight high arches.

Around the near vicinity (and well worth a visit) you’ll find Olive oil mills, ancient quarries, and a fascinating dam at Paty (2 km north), fantastic hiking with marked tracks and plenty of vineyards to trial (some of the nearby renowned wines are Beaumes-de-Venise, Gigondas and Vacqueyras)!
