The village of Vaugines is host to an art and sculpture school, and one of the local bars has an exhibition space, and puts on cultural and musical events.
If fine-dining is your thing, then there are two Michelin-starred restaurants just next to Vaugines - one in Cucuron (walkable!) and one in Ansouis (by car)... or dine out on the terrace at Fontenille, one of our local châteaux.
Just over the river Durance, you can attend the Roque d'Anthéron International Piano Festival, while a little further afield, Aix and Avignon are packed full of cultural events. The two neighbouring villages, Cucuron and Lourmarin, put on various cultural music events - including in the local churches - and there is even a jazz festival in Cadenet, just down the road.
