Realistically, you will need a car (although the village is accessible by train and bus) as supermarkets are a 10 minute drive away. However, the village does have a shop, tabac, bar and boulangerie so you can survive just within Fons, whiling away the hours by the pool. There is a visiting pizza van some nights in the summer, but in St Mamert, the next village down the D1 road (about 3 kms), there is a wonderful pizzeria we highly recommend!
