A secluded farmhouse in northern Luberon is the perfect place to enjoy Provence’s natural treasures, as Sophie Gardner-Roberts discovers
With a large choice of properties with land and many protected natural areas, France has always attracted people looking for the ‘good life’ where they can spend more time outdoors and feel closer to nature.

Perched up on the hills near the little Provençal village of Murs, in Vaucluse, this vast estate is now on the market, after being in the same family for about 20 years.
