Provence is full of kids! French kids love to swing, slide, and see-saw. So, french villages have small public playgrounds for them...and for your children or grandchildren! We plan to write about many of these so you can find one to fit your route through Provence. But for today, we will look at just this one, in La Bastide des Jourdans.
These delightful, secure oases are usually located just off the main roads, not far from the village center. La Bastide des Jourdans has just such a playground in just such a spot.
The village, like most, has one main road through its center. Find the Post Office (La Poste) and turn into the road that runs alongside La Poste. Go about 100 yards or so, turn right into a parking area. You will find the playground situated between this parking area and the village's main road.
It is fenced, sign-posted for children age 3-12, with a prominently displayed telephone number for security concerns. La Bastide, as it is called locally, is on the route that runs along the southern edge of the Luberon range. From here, there are easy walks in the hills. The Office of Tourism will have maps for you. Bring your young family to enjoy a lovely day in a lovely spot!
