Friends have a home in Eyguieres and I will be there while they will not. Has anyone been to this little town in Provence? Do you have recommendations on other must see locations nearby?

Eyguieres is in the Bouche Du Rhone area. The nearest large town is Salon de Provence (45000 pop.). Eyguieres has lots of fountains and a castle ruin and is a typical small country Provencal town. One neat thing, if you are in Salon in July or August, it has a night market on Fridays those months. They are like an outdoor town fete, with music and food and drink, as well as the market.
Other places within about 50 km of Eyguieres are St. Remy de Provence, Glanum, Les Beaux, Menerbes, L'Isle sur la Sorgue, and Luberon National Park. I assume you will have a car. Menerbes is one of "the most beautiful villages" in France, and many others are nearby. A drive around the countryside will reveal some local wine and olive and honey tastings at small local farms. Produce in the area is outstanding!
Amusez-vous bien!
