               Proposed Accommodations:

               VAUCLUSE, PROVENCE – Hotel Crillon le Brave:  This Relais & Chateaux property
               features an informal, relaxed environment with wonderful views of the countryside of the
               Vaucluse.  Situated 25 miles northeast of Avignon, in the heart of some of the finest vineyards in
               Rhone wine country, Crillon le Brave is a real charmer.  The property is located at the summit of
               the tiny village of the same name, not far from majestic Mont Ventoux.   In the late nineteenth
               century, the village council decided to honor their heroic Lord, Louis de Balbe de Crillon, also
               known as "le brave des braves" (brave among the brave), by naming the village "Crillon-le-
               Brave."  The Hotel Crillon-le-Brave
               occupies a cluster of seven, centuries-
               old buildings linked by narrow
               cobbled alleyways, secret gardens and
               spectacular terraces.  There are 32
               bedrooms located in the various
               restored village houses.  At the center
               of the property is a beautiful, terraced
               Italian garden that offers stunning
               views.  Co-owned by a Canadian
               (Peter Chittick) and his British
               business partner (Craig Miller), the
               hotel started out as a single house
               (Maison Roche) that was converted in 1989.  Over the last 22 years, the pair have purchased and
               renovated a further six houses, each almost touching the next, to create this exclusive and unique
               hotel complex.  No doubt you will enjoy the Provencal cuisine of the chef, who presides over the
               property’s Le Restaurant.  Lunch is served in La Grange bar or on the terraces.  The wine list is
               full of Rhone Valley standouts and other top selections from the south of France.  The property
               also features a heated outdoor pool, which, once again, showcases the great view, and a mini-spa.
               There’s also a laptop that you can borrow to check email, and the hosts can suggest walks in the
               countryside.  This is a great base for day trips in all directions, but you might just want to relax in
               this terrific setting.  http://www.crillonlebrave.com/
