Common Vaucluse, on the road of the Côtes du Rhône, Violès takes place about fifteen kilometers from Orange, Carpentras and Vaison-la-Romaine. It is also located about thirty kilometers from Avignon and the famous Mont Ventoux.

Former small wine village always appreciated for its production, Violès was in the Middle Ages a dependency of the abbey Notre-Dame d'Aiguebelle. Property of the Principality of Orange in the fifteenth century, it continues today to attract visitors with its authentic charm and its wines protected by the appellation côtes-du-rhône villages and plan-of-god (AOC).

Tourists visiting the area will appreciate its ideal location to discover the most beautiful cities in the region, as well as its relaxed lifestyle and quietness away from the tumult.
