Puyvert is a tranquil and pretty village, its main street lined with houses dating from the 16th century. Excellent restaurants, shops, cafés, a bank, postoffice, doctor's office and pharmacy may be found within walking distance (about 20 minutes) or a short drive to Lourmarin, a historic and beautiful Vaucluse village.

Puyvert lies at the foot of the Luberon hills in rolling countryside of vineyards and orchards. Other beautiful hillside villages of the Luberon - Bonnieux, Menerbes, Lacoste and Oppede among them - are within a 30 minute drive. Puyvert is 35 kilometres north of Aix en Provence and about 40 kilometres east of Avignon - two famous historic cities. Other towns within easy reach are Nimes and Arles. The Cote d'Azur is about an hour and a half by car, and St. Tropez, Cannes and Nice can be visited within a day. Another fascinating day-trip is to the Camargue, a unique marsh and seaside wildlife reserve; the home of wild horses, cattle and thousands of water birds.
