This is a wonderful series of articles on a less traveled part of the south of France which brings many rewards because it is a bit less traveled. Another lovely small town worth visiting near Nyons is Buis-les-Baronnies. It feels very residential but friendly; it is a good place to purchase local oils and spices. An interesting reminder for those who admire the letters of Madame de Sévigné is that Thornton Wilder’s Bridge of Saint Luis Rey incorporates characters modeled on the relationship of Madame de Sévigné and her daughter and includes segments of gorgeous correspondence influenced by the original letters.
