Visit the Charismatic Provencal Village of Bedoin

Bedoin is a village, in the Vaucluse, that grows on you. At first it may not appear to be as polished or refined as some of the other popular villages in the area. But give it a chance. Wander the streets and enjoy the atmosphere, the frenzy of excitement as cyclists come and go on their way to Mont Ventoux.

Take a look at Cobblestones and Vineyards to see Cheryl’s photos of Bedoin a village that for the most part “flies under the radar,”  unless you are cyclist planning to ride iconic Mont Ventoux. Not as instantly charming as many neighbouring towns, you need to slow down to appreciate this Vaucluse hamlet. Explore the local market (on Mondays), enjoy a coffee in one of the local cafes and make sure to buy some bread (Cheryl’s suggestion is below).

Cheryl Shufflebotham

Although, Cheryl and her husband live in upstate New York, she tells us that she is always yearning, planning, maneuvering to make her way back to France.

Cheryl's love for France started almost eleven years ago with "a once in a lifetime" ten-year anniversary trip. These wannabe expats have been back every year since that trip!

Cheryl's first French love is the region of Burgundy, but then a few years ago, she discovered Provence. Now she admits that she is torn between Burgundy and Provence. It sounds like Provence has her spellbound, "I can’t quite put a finger on what it is about Provence, but its intoxication keeps luring me back for more."

Cheryl started her blog Cobblestone and Vineyards to explore the simple charms of France, those small details that capture the heart.
