Holiday Rentals in Forcalquier - A Guide to Forcalquier
Forcalquier holiday rentals are situated in the southeast of France, within the departement of Apes-de-Haute-Provence. Forcalquier is a picturesque village, built around the slopes of a steep conical hill between the Lure and Luberon mountain ranges.
It can be reached easily by flying direct from the UK to the International airport of Marseilles. From there it is a simple drive north on the A51.
If you fancy a leisurely drive to your holiday rental in Forcalquier, take the A6 and A7 south from Paris through some of France’s most spectacular countryside. Given the hilly terrain, it is essential to have a car to explore the area.
If you decide not to drive from the UK, then have a look at our car hire guide to see how to get the best deals on car hire in Forcalquier.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Forcalquier
There is a real mix of holiday rentals in Forcalquier although all properties are in rural or village locations. If you are travelling with a young family and need good outdoor space for the times when you are not driving, then I have found a charming cottage to rent in Forcalquier.
It sleeps up to 4 people, has extensive grounds, which include a pool and outside play equipment. It is a ten-minute walk from the town centre that will provide all your self-catering needs.
Forcalquier Useful Information
Originally at the top of the hill stood a 12th Century citadel but it was destroyed in 1601. Now at the peak of the hill, stands a 19th Century octagonal chapel with beautiful carved figures and stunning 360° views of the surrounding area. It has a Carillon that can be heard every Sunday morning during the summer.
Your holiday rental in Forcalquier is not only picturesque but also an active working village. There are general shops, restaurants and a tourist information office. On Monday mornings there is an outstanding market selling homemade and organic food produce and crafts.
For those wanting a bit more life from your holiday rental in Apes-de-Haute-Provence, then a holiday rental in Digne-les-Bains to the east might be a better choice.
