Where to stay in Luynes
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Two roads decide it. Luynes gathers where the D7 and the N8 cross, 4 km south of Aix-en-Provence, and a stay here swaps the pull of the city for a village with its own church, dojo and boulodrome. The église Saint-Georges de Luynes marks the middle of it.
Aix-en-Provence absorbs anyone wanting more.

About Luynes
What are the main landmarks in Luynes?
Sport takes most of the entries. The stade Laurent Ruzzettu, the piste de bicross de Luynes, the piste de skate de Luynes and the plateau sportif Ughetti account for the sporting side of the record. The dojo de Luynes and the boulodrome de Luynes round the list out.
Only the église Saint-Georges de Luynes stands on it as something other than a ground. Just outside lies the Nécropole Nationale de Luynes.
