bring back a piece of provence
at home
That’s it, the vacations are over, it was your first stay at the Moulin de César in Vaison-la-Romaine. You booked a twin room and have already reserved a studio for the Pentecost weekend next year, so you can enjoy the Corso de Vaison-la-Romaine! But before you leave, it’s time to think about bringing back a few souvenirs so that you can wait until next time!
Since you’re still on vacation, we’ve made it easy for you by compiling a list of 10 things to bring back from your vacation at the foot of Mont Ventoux:
First memory: Lavender!
Of course, Provence means lavender bags for the whole family!
Second memory: Olive oil
Then off to Puymeras, to the Vieux Moulin Farnoux to fill up on olive oil! You’ve enjoyed their oil during your meals in our restaurant. You can even visit the production side. And in case your trunk is already full, don’t panic, you can order online.
Third memory: Wine from the Puymeras Cooperative
Is your neighbor waiting for you at the barbecue when you get back from vacation? Drop by the Cave de la Comtadine, still in Puyméras, to bring back a good bottle of “220” or a bib of rosé. And if, like you, he’s been seduced, you can place a group order online!
Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health.
Fourth memory: Strawberries!
You were lucky enough to come to the Moulin de César at the height of strawberry season, and that’s when you saw the difference with the strawberries you’re used to eating at home. You couldn’t go home without bringing 2 or 3 punnets of strawberries from Guillaume’s at the Crestet traffic circle, the same ones you enjoyed at dinner last night.
Fifth memory: You'll find happiness at the Vaison market
Mamie Monique wants you to bring her some melons and asparagus?
We’re off to the Provencal market in Vaison-la-Romaine on Tuesday mornings. Don’t forget to bring a LARGE bag, as our market is gigantic and magnificent. It has been elected “Most beautiful market 2023 for the Vaucluse”.
Sixth memory: Apricot juice
Would Grandpa Gérard like you to bring him some apricot juice? Just a stone’s throw from Moulin de César, in Saint Romain en Viennois, you can visit Domaine Bernard, and as with the Cave de la Comtadine, you can also buy wine. Domaine Bernard is also on Facebook, so you’ll have all the latest news before you come back.
Seventh memory: Lavender honey
You loved the lavender honey you tasted at breakfast, and you absolutely want to bring some home for your friends. This afternoon, it’s off to Malaucène to David Guerin’s to bring back “classic” flower honey and, of course, lavender honey!
Eighth memory: A beer full of sunshine
The neighbor has been watching your house while you’ve been away! You thought of him last night as you sipped a Les Dyades beer at our bar. All you have to do is go to downtown Vaison-la-Romaine to choose between their 6 local craft beers and a lemonade. You’ll even have the chance to watch the beers being made. And since your neighbor will love it, he or she can order online.
Alcohol is always dangerous to your health.
Ninth memory: Melting nougats
Have you tried the Silvain energy bars on sale at our bar? Your trail-loving nephew will love it? Would you also like to bring back some nougat for your colleagues?
Book your visit and stock up on goodies at the Saint Didier store. And once your colleagues have tasted it, they can order online.
Tenth souvenir: A tablecloth in the colors of Provence
And to keep a personal souvenir and bring Provence home, there’s nothing like a visit to the Farandole store in downtown Vaison-la-Romaine, where Camille and her mom will advise you on the most beautiful tablecloth to bring home! Be careful, though, because this store is addictive! As we look forward to next season and your future stay at the Moulin de César, you can keep up to date with La Farandole on Facebook.
